Join us for a bus trip to Chicago’s Art Institute! Spend the day exploring a collection of art that spans centuries and the “Best of the Best” US attractions of 2025.
Founded in 1879, the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the United States. Its world-renowned collections span cultures, media, and historical periods and include more than 260,000 artworks. The museum is especially known for its Impressionist, modern, contemporary, and Japanese print holdings, as well as the acclaimed Modern Wing designed by Renzo Piano, which highlights modern art, architecture, photography, and innovative educational spaces.
