The Art Institute of Chicago has some of the most famous works of art in the world, like American Gothic, one of Vincent van Gogh's earliest self-portraits, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, Nighthawks, The Old Guitarist, Waterlillies by my very favorite artist Claude Monet, and so many others. Along with ancient coins, marble statues from Ancient Greece, and thousands of other incredible works of art, the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the world's best art museums, and something that can't be missed on a visit to Chicago.
