Really needs no review. A truly great art museum. We rented audio headsets ($7 - I recommend) and spent about 2 hours in the new modern wing and about an hour in the impressionist area. Thursday at 5pm is free in summer months.

Wonderful museum. It is free, from 5-9pm on Friday nights in the summer. My favorite wing is the impressionist period, some great Monets and Van Goghs. The modern American art is also very neat. We had two strollers and there was plenty of room to maneuver through the museum. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of taking my students to Chicago for the day this past week. Having lived in the Chicagoland area 18 years ago, I am familiar with the city, but wanted an "experts" take on the new Modern Art wing and artworks. I found Jeff Mishur through the Chicago Tourism 800 number.
As and artist and educator I wanted to post what a pleasure it was to have an Art Historian give such an informative tour. Jeff talked at ease with the adults and children about all aspects of the museum - from the construction/architecture to the painting and sculptures. The public sculpture tour was about an hour and the museum tour a bit longer. We paid for our own entrance to the museum, but children/students under 14 are free!!! Our tour was $45 per person. There is a set price for large groups. You can contact Art Excursions via -------------@yahoo.com
Jeff is most accommodating and easy to work with - he has great recommendations and tips on additional ways to make your visit more enjoyable.

Nice museum - it was $12 for basic entrance (under 12's are free) but we paid $20 per adult in order to see the Munch exhibit. Staff were odd - looking at you like you were about to steal Scream and the layout was confusing ( especially as they are renovating) but it was a nice museum (we live in NYC and are from London so are a little spoiled regarding museums). The Munch exhibit was fab - long bit worth the addition $8 on the entrance fee.
