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.
