    A museum that celebrates the self-taught, accepts the "outsider" and values intuitive art. Current exhibit focuses on the im/migrants of Chicago. At the time of my visit, the entrance fee was $15. I live that I was able to see every piece in the museum display within 2 hours. Worth it

    Good museum for those who like to look at art but without spending a whole lot of time looking at it. Intuit is a pretty small place that's more like an art gallery than a museum. Mostly photography but there's some other interesting objects. Just pay a few bucks to look around. There's some pretty creative and interesting kinds of things. A place like this makes it hard to know a museum is here. It has a pretty nondescript entrance through a door on the side of a factory or warehouse of some kind. This is located on Ogden at Milwaukee. Has a pretty simple layout. It's $5 admission, which is pretty worth it truthfully. Has a large photography collection. There's also various collections and sculptures. Lots of other media such as films. The majority though is photography. A lot of it's by Ted Degener, who photographed quirky roadside attractions. These photographs feature the owner of these strange but fun places. Has a lot of things to check out to be honest. It's good for fans of photography. There's other things like painted hats and whatever. Get

    Very nice small museum displaying art from outsiders - those who don't have formal training and are not known or appreciated by the mainstream, yet. Entrance is only $5. It's a good one hour stop.

    I happened back across this great hidden gem while killing time before my dental appointment, so happy I tried the door and it opened. Not big in space but big in heart, the dedication to the Outsider Art well worth the nominal $5 suggested donation.

    Incredible! A glimpse into how unschooled artists express themselves and especially how the life of Henry Darger was captured and preserved so meticulously. My God! Who would even know this man even existed but for this museum! And Lee Godie, who used to try to sell us her stuff as we passed her at the Water Tower Park. She was going portraits for twenty bucks near the end but here her best works are preserved and exalted to the level she always deserved. This is art that makes you curious as to the mental state of the artist whereas schooled, beautiful art hides the creator. Anyone who appreciates art should not only visit this wonderful Oasis of the Mundane, but become a supporting member as well (it's cheap folks).

It was an awe-inspiring experience that gave me literal goosebumps and even got me a little emotional. But the rest of The Art Institute is incredible, too. We barely scratched the surface and yet managed to see several iconic paintings -- including American Gothic and that famous Van Gogh self-portrait. Obviously we should've planned more than a couple of hours in the place. I feel like you could spend a week wandering around the place and you'd still feel like you hadn't seen everything. I really can't wait to go back someday.

Since I wasn't a CHI/IL…read moreresident, the adult ticket price was $22, however you can also opt for the Pay As You Wish option, which is essentially Suggested Donation. While the museum is 4 floors, the exhibits weren't as plentiful. The 1st floor is basically their cafe. The 2nd and 4th floors are prob the floors with more artwork. The 3rd fl felt like an "in-between" floor. Thankfully, the Yoko Ono exhibit was on display, which featured several interactive activations, like a Wish Tree or writing on a wall, which were fun. Their Museum Shop also spans from floors 1-2. I wouldn't say that this museum has the popular artists. The overall artworks are a mix of abstract, photography, and mixed media. I wouldn't recommend it as a "Must See" for tourists, personally. However, I'm an art enthusiast and still thought it was a decent museum to walk through. Perhaps opt for the Suggested Donation for this one.

There were a few writing stations with activities, such as writing about your mom and taping it to the wall, and writing a wish on a tag and tying it to the wish tree. One room was blue and there were blue markers available and people were encouraged to add to it. Fabulous venue!

Cue going out with my roommates to classy events like After Dark, where everyone's a little older than I'm used to and where I don't really feel like I fit in just yet, but it's still nice to finally be a part of the grown ups. I would say the average person was in their late 20s, and the crowd was quite dressed up (at least in comparison to my cotton black summer dress and flip flops). We had a great time. Food wise, they had some complimentary snacks consisting of crackers/dip, popcorn, and rice crispy treats, although I wish they had something more substantial to feed us. They also have a drinks line (need to first purchase tickets to buy drinks!) where you can get beer, wine, or cocktails. Entertainment wise, there was a fantastic DJ, a photo booth with a mime, and an arts and crafts stand where you can get stickers to plaster all over you friends. After getting drinks and snacks, we sat around for a bit on the (beautiful) outdoor patio, and afterwards proceeded to walk through the Modern Wing, which was open exclusively for the event. The Roy Lichtenstein exhibit was up, and it took quite awhile to peruse since it was absolutely huge. The artwork was amazing, and I'm really glad I got a chance to see this exhibit that I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. The price of the event was so worth it since it covers both the art and the h'orderves. Overall, I had a fantastic time and am excited to attend other events similar to this (First Friday's at the MCA, anyone?). Only qualm is still that I wish they had more substantial snacks, since I was starving afterwards.

One thing that was annoying was having to pay for drink tickets, it would be much more convenient if they just took cash. Not a black tie event as some people made it out to be. All in, its good for what you make of it, either enjoying your own company or going to meet others. Good vibes!

The room itself was elegant, with pieces of art placed at tasteful intervals. The first floor gallery space is free and open to the public on selected days of the week.
