Founded in 1879, the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and largest art museums in the U.S., is situated in Grant Park. The museum's 1893 building, constructed for the World's Columbian Exposition, has seen expansions, including the 2009 addition of the Modern Wing by Renzo Piano. With nearly one million square feet, it ranks as the second-largest art museum in the U.S. Chicago residents enjoy free admission on select days, offering a chance to explore the vast collection of paintings and sculptures.
