Chicago

Explore the world’s most remarkable art pieces at the Art Institute of Chicago with your personal self-guided audio tour. The Art Institute of Chicago, opened in 1879 and housed in a magnificent Beaux-Arts building on Michigan Avenue, serves as a school and museum for the fine arts. It hosts masterpieces of famous artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Pablo Picasso, and many others. The tour starts on the first floor with the exploration of the art produced by different cultures — China, Japan, India, and Africa and lets you see a few pieces dating back even to the Neolithic period. You will also see the artworks of Ancient Rome and Greece, considered a cornerstone of Western civilization. Stop by and admire the statue of the Aphrodite of Knidos, the first monumental female nude in classical sculpture. Though it&#39;s headless, it&#39;s still beautiful. On the second floor, you will be introduced to Modern American Art and European Decorative Arts and invited to the greatest collection of Impressionist artwork in the world while being guided through must-sees paintings. The tour ends on the third floor with a significant exhibition of Modern Art and the most renowned objects to have a look at. Don&#39;t miss the outdoor Bluhm Family Terrace to enjoy the stunning Chicago skyline while appreciating and living through your new art experience. Note: choose to visit the lower level to see the Arts of Ancient Egypt, Islamic Art, and the Throne Miniature Rooms.
