Hi folks,

I’m planning a trip to Chicago (about one week) with friends and we’re looking for great things to do concerning graphic design, type and modern arts.

Any idea???

Love that town.

Definitely hit the Art Institute. Tremendous Impressionist/Post-Impressionist collection. There’s some great architecture all around too. You may want to check out a walking tour with the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

Oh and if you’re into funny, gotta catch a mainstage show at Second City.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I’m quite interested in all you mentioned. The problem will be the schedule now… But that’s an happy problem!

Jackson, we’ll be there from November 8 through November 12-13, so it may be short for the exhibition…

Once again, thanks a lot.
