Art Institute of Chicago

Sunday morning we arrived in Chicago, and after checking into our hotel, we hurried over to the Art Institute of Chicago to see the art.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

George's Seurat

Claude Monet

Winslow Homer

Edward Hopper

Vincent Van Gogh

Mary Cassatt

After lunch, we stumbled upon these rooms displaying typical styles of decor, but in miniature!
These lovely rooms were created between 1934 and 1940 by Mrs. James Ward Thorne and her team of thirty craftsmen. They are all 1" =1' and are so perfect it's unbelievable. The museum has sixty-eight of her rooms and one could spend hours inspecting their amazing detail.




Chicago also has lots of public art like this mosaic mural by Marc Chagall

and this horse sculpture by Picasso.
