Saying Goodbye to Chicago, Part Eleven: Chicago Cultural Center, Vol. 3

Here are the last photos I will post as part of my series on the Chicago Cultural Center. I hope you have enjoyed its beauty as much as I did during my visit. A little confession: I have passed by this building innumerable times and only recently have I bothered to make a visit. Yesterday's visit was only my second; my first visit was a couple of months ago for "Morbid Curiosity: The Richard Harris Collection," which featured skull and skeleton art from around the world. Needless to say, the Southwesterner in me found that art exhibit to be very cool.

Coleridge, too! Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago, IL

As you can see, across the street lies Millennium Park, and nearby are the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Architecture Foundation, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The Chicago Cultural Center is within walking distance from many of Chicago's other highly prestigious cultural institutions. You can easily "make a day of it."
