The Art Institute of Chicago, founded in 1879 as both a museum and school, first stood on the southwest corner of State and Monroe Streets. It opened on its present site at Michigan Avenue and Adams Street in 1893. The collection encompasses more than 5,000 years of human expression from cultures around the world, and the school's graduate program is continually ranked as one of the best in the country.

The Art Institute of Chicago is located in Chicago's Grant Park, located at 111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Il 60603. For hours and admission fees please see the museum's website.
