The Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing

The Art Institute of Chicago´s Modern Wing by Renzo Piano is a lovely entrance to the Museum.  The Fulbright seminar participants were welcomed at a reception at the institute on the 24th Mars. After dinner at the venue Mr Scott Bernstein, president and co-founder of Center for Neighborhood Technology, held a short speeth  regarding the importance of good transportation as a key to a greener city.

I later took a tour at the Museum to discover the beautiful  Japanese Picture Calendars exhibition and the Japanese Collection.
