A Visit to the Art Institute of Chicago (Part 1)

Part one of a documentary travel film presented by Talk About A Good Time about the world-renowned Art Institute of Chicago, located in Chicago, Illinois.

Located at the end of South Michigan Avenue, at one million square feet, it is the second largest art museum in the U.S., surpassed only by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Its collection encompasses more than 5,000 years of human expression from cultures around the world and contains more than 260,000 works of art.

In this installment, after seeing some of the public art in Chicago, we learn about the Art Institute's Thorne miniature rooms, the Asian collection of ancient art, the special Modern and Contemporary Works on Paper exhibit, and the modern European collection, which includes both Impressionist and post-impressionist works.

Thank you so much! I'm from Chicago, but living in Tennessee now, and I really miss the city, and, especially, the Art Institute! One of my favorite places. Good job.
