Seeing Damien Rice, checking in multifaceted Chicago

Date: 2023/12/1 Venue: Auditorium Theatre Chicago is a city with a thousand faces, and after watching Damien's performance, I wonder which side of it you will see. Here are some classic Chicago attractions to check out together~ 1. The Art Institute of Chicago Founded in 1891, The Art Institute of Chicago is not only one of the world's oldest art galleries but also one of the top three art museums in the United States today. The museum houses art treasures spanning five thousand years and five continents, truly making it a museum of the world. It is particularly renowned for its collection of French Impressionist paintings, with masterpieces by Renoir, Picasso, Van Gogh, and other masters of immense value. Even the bronze lion statues that stand guard at the entrance have become a symbol of the Windy City. 2. Millennium Park Millennium Park is a large urban park in Chicago, bordered by the bustling Michigan Avenue on one side and the picturesque Lake Michigan on the other. The park is dotted with postmodern architectural elements, making it a showcase for this architectural style. The outdoor concert venue, Cloud Gate, and Crown Fountain are three of the most iconic postmodern structures in Millennium Park. 3. Route 66 Start Sign Route 66, affectionately called 'The Mother Road' by Americans, diagonally crosses from Chicago to Santa Monica, California. The total length of Route 66 is 2,448 miles (about 3,939 kilometers). Route 66 was commissioned on November 11, 1926, and was not declared fully completed until 1938. It begins in Chicago, Illinois, and crosses through states such as Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arizona, diagonally bisecting the United States map all the way to Los Angeles, California (later extended to Santa Monica), spanning eight states and three time zones, with a total length of 2,450 miles, approximately 3,943 kilometers.
