Really small museum, really just one work of art. Make sure when you ask for a description of the art before walking in, as they don't have any info inside. The art piece on display felt pretty exagerated on the importance, it was not much to think about or see.

  • Caitlyn Liu

The content of the display changes from time to time. This time it's four paintings and one movie. The movie is interesting if you read the narratives. If you have extra time to hang out at uchicago then this could be an interesting place.

  • Curtis Miller

Great for art fans who like high ceilings. Not easy via public transit unless you are coming from downtown. Why is Hyde Park so hard to get to? We may never know.

  • Richard Wright

This internationally known art museum is a Chicago treasure. A hidden jewel with world-class contemporary art.

  • Guillermo Arrieta

beautiful art exhibitions, it is a simple place but for those who appreciate art a place worth visiting.
