Cool Art at the Art Institute of Chicago

I always love to visit the Art Institute of Chicago.  

I've been anxiously awaiting the reopening of the Rennaissance and Armor exhibit.  The new exhibit is in a beautiful space complete with cathedral ceilings and gothic arches

I overheard a tour guide speaking to a group of young people about how gritty and industrial the city is and that the Art Institute provides a place for beautiful art and collections as almost a refuge from the grittiness of the city.

It really does feel like a refuge.
