Sunday, Day 2 Sandusky, OH to South Beloit, IL
Today was a serious art day. We drove west on I-90 to northwest Illinois with a nice stop in Chicago to spend time at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Early on Sunday, the traffic on I-90 was light, but it got congested later in the day:
When we got to Chicago, we parked at the Millennium Park and crossed the street to the Art Institute of Chicago. Here is the only photo we took of the Purple Z today:
We spent about 4 hours visiting the Art Institute of Chicago which is Trip Advisor's number attraction in Chicago. Lyndi and I agree that it has the best collection or art that we have seen. Here are some of the items that caught my attention:
There is a fabulous collection of advertising posters from early twentieth century London to get people to ride the electric buses and subways:
Edward Hopper's Nighthawks (1942) is a thrill to see in person:
I was fascinated by this Ancient Egyptian Statue of Horus, carved about 2300 years ago:
I liked the bright color and detailed life-like faces of Two Sisters by Renoir:
We had about an hour of rain today and paid a lot of tolls but the drive was not too bad.
