The ART INSTITUTE of CHICAGO



October, 2, 2007


It was my first time of Chicago trip. I have been very interested in paintings, which means the most favorite place in Chicago trip was entirely focusing on the Art Institue even though I have never been there. I really wanted to see original masterpieces painted by famous artists such as Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, and Matisse. When I entered the gallery, I was really excited. What a great opportunity! Actually, it was not enough time for me to look at all the painting in the Art Institue. Of many collections, I could not but choose some. I picked up Impressionism & Postimpressionism galleries and Modern & Contemporary galleries. There I recorded some pictures with my digital camera and above video is about "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" painted by Georges Seurat, French artist. An old curator was explaining the paintings to visitors. I couldnot look through all the galleries because of lack of time. So I really want to go to the Art Institute again and have a plenty of time to see all of exhibitions. After that, I went to the Millenium Park. The park was quite familiar with Coex Mall in Korea. High buildings and and some modern sculptures. I really enjoyed the Chicago trip.

Beautiful pictures! Taking pictures of the "bean" is so much fun! Did you hear anyone call the mirror-like object in millenium park "the bean"? When I get my pictures in my computer from my phone, I will upload a bean picture, too.
