What makes Art of a City Downtown Chicago – Exclusive Guided Walking Tour a unique experience ?

Juame Plensa’s “Crown Fountain”

What do the artists Picasso, Chagall, Miro, and Kapoor all have in common? Incredible public art within a few blocks of each other. 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.
