I loved everything about this place, from the architecture of the building (artwork in itself), to the beautiful, moving art installation I experienced, to the fact that all of this is free. I saw things that took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. I laughed, I cried. I was reminded of the depths of the human experience and humbled and so very grateful that these talented artists had shared a piece of themselves with me. This is a special place and aptly located in the heart of Chicago, an accessible, culturally rich and wondrous city.…

Chicago certainly has its share of outstanding building. This used to be the city’s public library and dates from the end of the 19th century. A gorgeous example of Beaux Arts architecture. You can wander around inside and admire the beautiful rooms, including a huge Tiffany dome. There are lots of activities including free concerts and a guided tour from Wed to Sat at 1.15 pm which is well worth it.…

The Chicago Cultural Center was a nice experience. They have a Gun Violence Memorial Exhibit.

The Chicago Cultural Center is a jewel to admire; may not be a high rise, but it offers many floors to which one can explore its beauty. The center offers many exhibitions that are free to the public but be sure to always check the website ahead of time before your visit. The center is also known for its 2 Tiffany domes, one is the Rotunda to the Grand Army of the Republic and the other in Preston Bradley Hall. Both Halls are decorated with intricate details that are unique to each. Also, a Venetian inspired bridge, a site to take in. A truly amazing place to visit.…
