Great collection of paintings. Very nice place to spend half a day to see all the paintings in Chicago museum. Highly recommend.

Amanda – United States

So impressed with the displays here! I went in around noon and left at close at 5 pm and think I maybe got through half of the exhibits and had a great lunch here. Especially enjoyed the impressionist wing, which was full of famous artists and pieces.

I loved it. Definitely worth the money I spent. If you live art, then you need to check it out. I could easily spend a few hours here.
