The Art Institute of Chicago: Skip The Line Ticket + Exclusive Guided Tour

About this experience

The Art Institute of Chicago: Skip The Line Ticket + Exclusive Guided Tour This exclusive guided tour takes you through one of America's finest art collections with fast-track entry and an expert art historian as your guide. You'll explore the museum's most celebrated galleries in a small group of maximum 12 people, seeing masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Dalí alongside key American works like Grant Wood's American Gothic. Your guide will share the stories behind these famous works, from Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's emotional brushstrokes and Dalí's surrealist visions. The small group setting means you can ask questions, request closer looks at pieces that interest you, and enjoy a more personalised experience than larger tours. With over 300,000 pieces in the collection spanning centuries and cultures, this curated tour ensures you see the highlights without feeling overwhelmed. What is Included Fast-track entry to The Art Institute of Chicago Guided tour with an art historian Small group tour (maximum 12 guests) Good to Know The tour starts promptly at the museum entrance at 111 S Michigan Avenue, so arrive a few minutes early for check-in.
