Private and Guided: an Art Institute of Chicago Tour Designed Around You.
There is so much to tour at Chicago’s Art Institute; it’s hard to know where to start. Whether you want to let us choose the key highlights, or you want to head in a unique direction based on your own art interests, ART SMART has you covered with your personal guided art tour. Like all of our tours, you’ll be guided by an art historian, not a docent. Along the way you can feel free to ask all the questions you want and get the depth of information that you prefer. We’ll customize a private art tour through the Art Institute of Chicago for you based on your personal group, preferences and interests.
