Book Description: This map covers the following areas: Whether you are in Chicago 4 hours or 4 days, the windy city offers visitors art and architectural treasures that are famous worldwide. Visit them all, and everything in between, guided by the ARTWISE Chicago Museum Map. Art museum excursions should begin with the Art Institute of Chicago, with works by Monet, Renoir, van Gogh and other heavy hitters that are on the must see list of Chicago visitors. Stroll north up Michigan Avenue and head to the Museum of Contemporary Art, one of the largest museums in the country featuring contemporary artists. More than any other city in America, Chicago has experienced several epochs of explosive architectural development beginning after the great Chicago fire of 1871. Join one of the several organized architecture walking tours (refer to the Chicago Architectural Foundation in map index) tracing the birth of the modern skyscraper and its evolution into the international style. Another tour focuses around the Chicago River buildings, with styles ranging from Beaux Arts to Postmodern. Speaking of architecture and sculpture, one must visit and walk through Millennium Park, the spectacular new art park situated in the heart of Chicago s Loop. Unique to the ARTWISE Chicago Museum Map are the special inset maps. A map of suburban Oak Park, Illinois will guide you to all the important homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Oak Park has the largest collection of Wright homes in America. The inset of IIT provides a detailed map of this important campus with buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe and Rem Koolhaas. The Hyde Park inset will show you where to find one of Chicago s biggest attractions, the Museum of Science and Industry, home to the only intact WWII German U boat in the United States. |
