The new Modern Wing at the Chicago Art Institute
June 2009
The new Modern Wing for the Art Institute opened on May 16th. The building itself was designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano, and it is a beautiful showcase for the AI's collection of 20th- and 21st-century art collections. It is connected directly into the heart of Millennium Park by a new pedestrian-only bridge.
With the opening of this wing, the AI is now the second largest art museum in the U.S. after the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
