Some of my family went to see it and told me how wonderful it is. I went to the Monet exhibit there in 1995.

I paired it with Garfield Park Conservatory's Flowers of Monet exhibit a couple of weeks ago. Great!

Thanks for posting this! However, my state is on the Chicago Quarantine list. So if I want to be honest and protect others, I’ll have to wait to see if Mayor Lightfoot removes Missouri.
No political comments, please. Just stating a fact that my family should not visit. Will wait to see if the list of states is updated between now and the end of the year!

More than 30 years ago - my parents took me to a Monet exhibit at the Chicago Art Museum when I was a kid. It was outstanding! Even as an ignorant kid - I loved it. Still remember some of it. I highly recommend this for all who can get to Chicago to see this! Wish I could!
