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.
