Discover works of art, participate in lively group discussions, and apply critical and creative thinking skills in new contexts.

The Art Institute is open once again—please be sure to reserve or buy your tickets online before your visit.
Of course, the museum experience is a little different, as we’ve taken precautions to protect the health and safety of our visitors and our staff. Please note the following changes and see the full list of new visiting policies.
In addition, we have decided to take the precautionary step of suspending K–12 guided and self-guided student tours in the museum until a later date.
Please direct any questions to School Programs at studenttours@artic.edu.
