After the presentations at SOM finished we headed down to the lobby of the building to check out an awesome model of Chicago.
It was super cool and I totally want to play Godzilla with it.
We then all headed across the street to Millennium Park to visit the Bean and decide how to spend the next hour or two before the group had to head over to the train station.
From there the group split up. Some people went to the water tower, while Jeremy, Claire and I went over to the Art Institute of Chicago. There we explored the new Modern Wing of the museum. And by explore I mean spend the entire time on a single floor. There was so much cool stuff there and it was huge. The floor we were on only covered modern European art 1900-1950 but that was more than enough to wow us and take up the hour we had there. I was especially excited to see some famous Magritte paintings and one of Salvador Dali's awesome flaming giraffes in real life. We had so much fun there and all felt like we could have spent days exploring the museum.
