Fab variety and architectural modernity. Love the miniature house exhibit.
The collection encompasses more than 5,000 years of human expression from around the world & more than 260,000 pieces. The Modern Wing was opened in 2009 & is the largest expansion in their history.
In "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off" (1986), the little girl in the center of "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884" (1884–86) captivated the attention of Ferris' friend Cameron. Read more.
If you're waffling over whether to come see this, just do. The best part is a trip into the minds of veterans during and after their deployments. Exquisite Corpse exhibit was my favorite.
These are my type of veterans: expressive art people
Veterans & Art make for a rich mix to anyone in our society
Absolutely brilliant spaces and wonderful curation. Make time to go when you're in Chicago!!
One of the nation's largest facilities devoted to the art of our time the Museum offers exhibitions of art created since 1945. It boasts a terraced sculpture garden with a great view of Lake Michigan.
With musicians and dancers performing in the galleries, artists getting bigger shows, and young curators infusing fresh programming ideas, the MCA is doing the most to attract a new audience: you.
Great food from all the local restaurants! Snail, medici, foodism, etc. Not many tables, so it can get crowded. Best grilled cheese sandwich ever
Don't miss the lively French & Japanese color prints, on display through 1/20. (The portrait of Saigo Takamori is very striking.)
Free admission, surprisingly rich art collection

Weird contemporary "art."
The ambiance here is great aand you can tell how much work the staff puts in to the exhibitions. This place deserves way more credit and is a totally underrated museum in Chicago.
I really enjoyed this immersion into Van Gogh’s artistic world.
Morning yoga there was awesome
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
