I went to the Art Institute museum in Chicago. I was blown away by the number of famous works. It was like opening an art history textbook!

I was an art history major at U of Chicago after I dropped out of physics in my senior year. We had some of our classes in the museum and it always overwhelmed me. Mother was a fine arts major at U of C and I was raised in the Art Institute in front of the Lorado Taft statues, then got to take classes in his studio, where mother had studied.

One of our favorite parts of living near Atlanta was the monthly Museums on Us sponsored by Bank of America which allowed us to visit the High Museum of Art one weekend per month for free. You should check to see if they offer anything in your area.
