Description

What do the artists Picasso, Chagall, Miro, and Kapoor all have in common? Incredible public art hiding in plain sight amidst world famous architecture within a few blocks of each other. Tour Chicago in a small group perfect for busy sidewalks and get up close to monumental art! Join one of our expert guides on this unique and exclusive 2.5 hour guided walking tour of Downtown Chicago. After the Chicago fire created a clean slate to design a new downtown during the height of the gilded age, much attention has focused on the internationally renowned architecture that populates Chicago’s downtown. However, hiding in plain sight is spectacular public art that adds depth and character to the “City of Big Shoulders”. From metal behemoths, to massive mosaics, and murals that could be seen for miles (if the skyscrapers didn’t get in the way) some of the most famous artists from the twentieth century to today have left their blood, sweat, and tears scattered in the heart of Chicago to inspire the future and remember the past. Experience the city like never before with the expertise of our seasoned guides. Their in-depth knowledge and passion for the city bring its rich history, art, and architecture to life, making this tour both educational and unforgettable. With insider insights and engaging stories, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the art, culture, and vibrant energy that define the heart of Chicago.
