The Art Institute is FREE in February! Lets take advantage of it. We will check out the Yousuf Karsh exhibit of famous portraits, the return of the impressionist collection, and the rest of the museum. There is also a special Edvard Munch exhibit opening that weekend for $10 which I am not planning to see, but you are welcome to if you want. Apparently it is not timed entry--general admission but you need a ticket. I suggest you go around 3:00 if you want to see it--we should be done with the rest of the museum by then. We will eat lunch in the museum cafeteria around 12:30. Meet inside the lobby near the front door, I will be wearing a meetup button. We will depart for the exhibits at 11:15. Please call [masked] if you are running late, can't find us, or have questions. This is cross posted with Fun Chicago Single, so please only sign up with 1 group or the other. http://www.artic.edu/...
Hope to see you there!

    It was a great idea to go the Art Institute and would do it again- thank you, Ellen! I enjoyed the ,great collections and my time with everyone I met. But I do agree with other comments that there wasn't much of an opportunity to "mingle" b/c we were scattered all about.
