Exploring Chicago’s Art Institute: Part 3

Sculpture Court

Sculpture Court

The exploration of Chicago’s Art Institute continues. Yesterday, I visited the Sculpture Court and American Art before 1900.  That pretty much finished the first level.

The Cafe - Fernand Lungren (1859 - 1932)

This seems (along with textiles) to be one of the quieter parts of the museum. There is plenty of space to take in the art works, and is a good place to decompress when tired of the heaving mob in some of the more highly-trafficked galleries.

The Herring Net - Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910)
