Art Institute of Chicago
An American cultural icon in the heart of Chicago, celebrated for its extraordinary collection of Impressionist masterpieces and American art.
The Art Institute of Chicago boasts a world-class encyclopedic collection, but its fame rests on two unparalleled pillars. The first is its collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting, one of the most important outside of Paris, with iconic works such as 'A Sunday on La Grande Jatte' by Seurat and 'Paris Street; Rainy Day' by Caillebotte. The second is an extraordinary fund of American art, which includes two of the most recognizable paintings in existence: 'American Gothic' by Grant Wood and 'Nighthawks' by Edward Hopper.
