Hello.
I am here at the Art Institute of Chicago
and I'm really excited to take you guys along this ride
because this is one of the best museums to see art.
We're gonna see some classic pieces here
but this place is huge,
so we are not going to get through everything that there is to see here
but I want to give you guys a little taste of the Art Institute.
So, let's stop talking and let's go.
This museum is super overwhelming
because there's just so many collections.
This happens to be one of the largest art museums in the United States.
Fun Fact.
It is also one of the oldest art museums in the United States.
If you guys have seen a little movie called Ferris Bueller's Day Off
then you might recognize a specific scene
in which Cameron is looking at the Sunday afternoon painting,
that was actually shot here at the Art Institute in the Impressionists collection.
This place is so big,
that it has multiple buildings for different galleries.
And pretty much every building, sort of embodies
the feeling of the type of art that is within it.
I'm not kidding when I say that this place is huge.
Look at all the different maps.
So this is the lower level.
First, two, three.
And then within each one of these is like here's a building,
there's a building, there's another building.
It's so easy to get lost.
I found myself going into the impressionist room like five times.
I think this is my favorite room.
It's so cute, I mean it's so cute.
This is so cool.
Everything is tiny.
Look at the tiny little tree.
Look at the detail in here.
There's even a back room over there.
And look at the staircase.
Oh, look at the kitchen.
This room is just, it's too much for me.
There's so many little things.
I think I could spend like an hour just in this room.
Little candle holders.
I just sat down for lunch at the Museum cafe
and I ordered a veggie burger with some homemade chips
and it looks delicious.
I went with the veggie burger because the chef there, she convinced me,
she's like, oh we make it special and this and that.
Anyway, she sold me, so that's what I have.
And my friend that I came to the museum with, by the way you haven't seen
because we lost each other at the start.
But her name is Sol and she's from Argentina
and she got...
Chicken sandwich, tomatoes, cheese and barbecue sauce.
Looks good.
That burger was so good.
If you ever find yourself at the Art Institute and go to the museum cafe
then you should definitely get the veggie burger,
and be sure to get it the Monet style
because honestly like the spiciness and the sweet potato
which is what the veggie burger is made out of,
that combination is just like, so good.
That is it for this video.
By the way I did stop at the gift shop
but I couldn't film anymore
because I just, I'd filmed so much here already
This museum is extremely overwhelming, there's just so much,
I mean, there's a reason that this is one of the greatest art museums ever.
So, if you ever find yourself in Chicago
then you absolutely have to make time to come here,
even if it's only for, you know, two hours, you have to make a stop.
Thank you so much to the Art Institute for making this possible
and letting me have a visit and bringing you guys along for the ride.
If you enjoyed this video then please give me a thumbs up.
And if you haven't already then definitely subscribe,
so that you don't miss out on all this goodness.
For now I'm gonna go.
So, I will see you when I see you, bye!
