Chicago
They might call it the Second City, but Chicago is second to none when it comes to its lively arts scene. The Art Institute of Chicago in itself is reason enough for art enthusiasts to let the winds blow them towards this Midwest city – this phenomenal museum, flanked by its two iconic lion statues, hosts one of the world’s finest collection of Impressionist paintings, as well as some fantastic works from more recent art icons including Picasso, Dali, Pollock and Warhol. Another noteworthy Chicago draw is the Museum of Contemporary Art, where a broad spectrum of contemporary arts, from painting, sculpture, and photography, to film, dance, and music, can be enjoyed. There are a few very good special interest museums, as well – try the stirring National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum, the rich Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, or the exotic Oriental Institute Museum. And don’t forget to keep your eyes open for all of that public art that you’ll pass in transit – The Loop alone includes an untitled Picasso (known locally as "The Picasso"), Miro’s Chicago, Chagall’s Four Seasons, and Calder’s Flamingo.
