Our tour guide, Joe, was terrific. Very knowledgeable about the museum and the art pieces. Welcomed comments…just a fun time learning about art.

We enjoyed an incredibly informative and fun tour with Joe on May 14,2022. Joe showed us a wide range of work, and his deep knowledge and appreciation of the work and their artists enhanced the experience beyond measure. Our only regret is that the tour ended; and we will definitely do it again on our next visit to Chicago.

We met our guide, Rachel, outside. There were 4 of us, plus another couple, so with Rachel at the helm, we explored the museum with our little group. We saw the 'greatest hits' and some more obscure pieces. Rachel provided some opportunities for us to modify our experience along the way based on our interests and engaged us in conversation about what we saw. You don't have to be an art nerd to enjoy it. Highly recommend, whether you're a tourist or a local.
