One of my favorite art museums in the world is the Art Institute in Chicago. We didn't get to go this time, and I plan on going next time I'm in Chicago, because I have not seen the new wing there yet.We did manage to see some art, though, including the Alexander Calder exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art. I have always enjoyed Calder mobiles, but it is something special to see a whole bunch of them grouped together. We were not allowed to photograph that room, but there was a short movie being shown on the ground floor about the museum, so I snapped a photo of the Calder as shown on the movie. This gives some idea of the exhibit.
The rest of the museum took about 15 minutes to see - exhibits are sparse and few.
We also saw photos at the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, but I only really enjoyed one photo arrangement by John Baldessari seen here.
