Welcome to the Art Institute of Chicago, home to a collection of art that spans centuries and the globe—and one of Tripadvisor’s “Best of the Best” US attractions of 2024. We look forward to your visit and invite you to explore our many exhibitions and to join us for one of our free daily tours.
Catch The Great Wave
As a light-sensitive print, Hokusai’s masterpiece can only be on view for a short time every five years. Don’t miss the rare chance to see this iconic print in the Art Institute galleries this fall.
Please note that during busier times, a virtual line will be used for The Great Wave. Simply scan the QR code when you arrive at the gallery.
