The Art Institute of Chicago is an extraordinary treasure trove, with something to discover around every corner. This fall, a special exhibition of Mary Cassatt’s work will join the museum’s already incredible collection of Impressionist masterpieces.
Join Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning for a four-day Chicago escape, Dec. 9-13, to immerse yourself in the Art Institute’s remarkable collections and explore the Chicago Architecture Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Evenings will showcase some of the best of Chicago, including a night at Second City and an evening of live jazz at Andy’s Jazz Club. Four days in the Windy City, just before the holidays. What could be better? And, of course, shopping is right outside your door.
All this and more awaits our small merry band of travelers. See the full itinerary at the . Space is limited.
