The Art Institute of Chicago amazes me. The pieces of art hanging on the walls are stunning, beautiful, and in many cases, well-known. There’s Seurat’s “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” and Hopper’s “Nighthawks”. Van Gogh’s self-portrait and Degas’ dancers share the space.
If you ever make it to Chicago visit this place. Your feet may drag, but your soul flies.

Didn’t know if you saw this or not, but these people decided to recreate the scene in the Seurat painting:

I don’t know why that didn’t work. I’ll try again.

Somethings can make us forget sore feet! I love browsing
in art galleries and museums, time just flies. Thanks for
sharing the paintings too.

Between the Art Institute and the King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum, Chicago was an art and cultural highlight for me.
