ProPublica: The Art Institute of Chicago Returned a Sculpture to Nepal But Obscured Its Connection to a Wealthy Donor. “The Art Institute of Chicago announced recently that it had returned to Nepal a sculpture that had been in its collection for at least a quarter century. Conspicuously left out of the press release: that the sculpture had been a gift from a wealthy Chicago donor.”

“The Art Institute of Chicago has three copies of Katsushika Hokusai’s iconic work “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa”in its collection and one of them has been removed from storage and is back on display in the museum until Jan 6, 2025.”

Chicagoans are so earnestly proud of their city. Multiple Chicagoans today told me what amounted to the following composite sentence: “You HAVE to go to the Art Institute, it’s amazing, you have to! And the Modern Wing, oh my God, it’s so good, Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room, and the maquettes of the public art, you have to! You have to come back and see it!”
Meanwhile in New York: “The Met? Eh, it’s fine I guess.”
Favorite art from my visit today at the Art Institute of Chicago. Highly recommended 
Great day for a walk to the Art Institute of Chicago Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit
I really miss going to big art museums like the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. When we lived in Milwaukee, it was so easy to go to the art museum and just get lost in there, moving from one gallery to the next, soaking in the beauty. It was a wonderful way to spend the day....

“[I am] very much pleased that you like my 'Nighthawks' well enough to acquire it for the Art Institute. It is, I believe, one of the very best things I have painted."
He wrote the words above in a letter to the director of the museum in 1942, the same year the artist completed "Nighthawks," his most famous work.

Filmed on location, Ferris Bueller and the gang head to the Art Institute of Chicago, where they admire art, hold hands with a line of children, and engage in self-reflection and discovery.
