Located along the Cultural Mile — or within easy walking distance — are some of the most notable museums in the world, including:

Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum

Just south of Grant Park along the southern boundary of Monroe Harbor and its beautiful lakefront, the Museum Campus offers delights for visitors of all ages.

Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum

Galleries

Not only does the Cultural Mile include some of the world's foremost visual arts galleries and breathtaking public art in Millennium Park it is also home to a number of small, intimate galleries where work produced by new and established artists is on display. And, because student work is often available for sale, you may find tomorrow's Cezanne or Calder at rock-bottom prices.
