Posters Plus is a favorite stop when my friends and I go to the Art Institute. Located just across the street, this tiny shop is a great place to duck in and see what new items are available. Posters Plus sells some really great art posters, notecards (some featuring the work of famous artists), and other artsy trinkets. The stock is always changing, and you never know just what treasure you might find there. One day it's a clock in the shape of a chair, another day it's expresso cups decorated with Picasso prints. There are some fun toys for the younger set (or just the young at heart). It's the perfect place to look for birthday gifts. Who wouldn't want that vintage French poster advertising champagne or one of those retro-Chicago El posters? This store is fun and funky. It might not have what you want the first time you stop in, but check again later. The collection is always changing.
