Walking in here reminds me why I love this city so much. All this art and history for free? Yes, please, and thank you! This place has got a constant revolving door of art exhibits and wonderful factoids about the city's history line every corridor (did I mention it's free)? The building itself (which use to be the old public library) is gorgeous and, if art & history is your thing, you could wander around forever in here. Literally, forever because the layout is a little wonky but I think that's because of its original purpose as a public library with study rooms and such. Also, this building houses cultural, creative spaces for working artist in the community-like Project Onward-which is specifically set up to benefit artists in the city with mental and physical disabilities. Seriously, this place is a cultural landmark in and of itself and you will not regret a peek inside for a moment!

    The Chicago Cultural Center is a very special place. The construction area of the entire cultural center is quite large. There are many fun things to do here. The location of the cultural center is also quite special.

    We signed up for a welcome trip, the interior architecture has shocked us, how will we see the shocking architecture after arriving there? We worked hard to complete the mission of Newport, Rhode Island, USA to get here, found this building is so beautiful! Superb skills, glass dome is breathtakingly beautiful! Even if only this building, it is worth a visit for him.

    The Chicago Cultural Center is located at 78 East Washington Street, just across the road from Millennium Park. From Millennium Park, you can see a magnificent building opposite, and the engraved word "Chicago Public Library" is so eye-catching that you decide to go and see it. At the door, I found out that it is now the Chicago Cultural Center, not the library. But it is still free and visitors can enter freely. The interior of the building is also very grand, with red carpeted staircases, Roman-style arches, and a strong decorative arts. It usually hosts exhibitions, screenings of movies, music and theater performances, and is indeed the cultural center of Chicago. Of course, it's also good for tourists to use it as a place for a short break.

    It was only half an hour to visit and it was free! There was a comics exhibition when we went, and the mosaics on the walls were very beautiful! The Tiffany glass dome in the rotunda was very shocking! Go east by the glass stairs, from which you can see Millennium Park!

    The building has had many uses over the years. I have been there at least 100 times in the library, gallery exhibition space. There will be free classical concerts upstairs at noon on weekdays. You can also listen to WFMT radio (they are all recorded), or come here to enjoy a small private space. Modern rotating art exhibitions often showcase the most advanced ways of doing things, especially photography. Before experiencing a special trip, make sure that one art exhibition in the gallery is within the effective period and the next one is in the exhibition time. There is also a gift shop and a big and good tourist information office.

    The Chicago Cultural Center is located in the city center. When I saw the exterior of the cultural center, I fell in love with it. The architectural design is really beautiful. The two colored glass domes in the north and south are amazing. The cultural center mainly displays modern art. There are often various cultural activities held. Free Visit
