February 25, 2009 in Events, Illinois Hotels, Museums by Steven
One day we’ll have to feature the Art Institute of Chicago in our Pulitzer Prize-winning series “Museums that Matter“*, but today we’re going to focus on a great temporary exhibit they’re running until the last week in April: Becoming Edvard Munch: Influence, Anxiety, and Myth.

Museums that Matter is our nationwide exploration of fascinating museums and cultural attractions. Humble Cincinnati, Ohio.
