From the Park to the Museum

Once the bridge carried you over the street or once you jaywalk across the street, you can enter the Art Institute Chicago's Modern Wing. Built to the south and east of the older building, it has its own look.

Contrasted to the 1890s-classic look of the Michigan Avenue entrance, which features large columns and few windows, the new section appears to be all window and plenty of open space. That impression is accurate, as we shall see in upcoming posts.
