The Art Institute of Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is a fun place to go to. I wish the museum life in Manila revives, hopefully the Mind Museum can help us make that push.
Chicago's art institute has a lot of interesting items, and they have a huge collection of modern art, which, attracts a lot of young crowd. I think it's smart, and there's a lot of young people visiting, instead of the usual old tourist crowd.
And their collection of miniatures are AMAZING. all the details are just fantastic!
Imagine walls that had picture frames like these:
And when you look closely, you see these:
I was amazed at every miniature, they all must have steady hands to do all these.
Amazing right?
Here are the other museum photos that I took:
If you're in Chicago, I suggest you to visit the museum. At the least, see Grant Wood's American Gothic in the flesh.
