On October 22, 2010, the department of Art and Art History went on a trip to Chicago.
The first museum I visited was the Art Institute of Chicago. I thought that it was hilarious that the font on the stone sign had a “v” instead of a “u”, so it looked like “The Art Institvte of Chicago”.
From there, I went to Millennium Park where I saw the fountains (which were turned off, boo!) and the bean (otherwise known as Cloud Gate).
Next, I ate lunch at a nice Italian restaurant off Michigan Ave. I scarfed down an entire plate of calamari, and boy, was it good!
After that, I went to the Cultural Center.
From there, I set off in search of the Dick Blick store.
Gallery time; I walked to the River North gallery district, and visited Schneider Gallery, Perimeter Gallery, Roy Boyd Gallery, ECHT Gallery, and the Carl Hammer Gallery.
Then, it was off to American Dog to get a Chicago Dog, go back to Millennium Park, and the Art Institute.
