1-day tour of Chicago, USA Day Tours

<p>Founded in 1891, the Art Institute of Chicago is not only one of the oldest art galleries in the world, but also one of the three largest art galleries in the United States today. The museum collects art treasures from five thousand years and five continents, and it can be called the Museum of All Nations. In particular, the representative works of French Impressionist painters are world-renowned. The masterpieces of Renoir, Picasso and Van Gogh are invaluable. Even the bronze lion statues on both sides of the gate have become the symbol of Chicago. The main entrance of the museum faces Michigan South Street and has a Victorian appearance. The entire museum is divided into 10 exhibition halls, with a collection of more than 300,000 exhibits. There are European, American and Oriental engravings, paintings, prints, drawings, decorative arts, as well as photography as well as African art and pre-Columbian American art. Among them, Grant Wood's famous work "American Gothic" is definitely a treasure of the town hall and one of the cultural symbols symbolizing the United States.</p>
