Going to the Art Institute is like going shopping--you need to go frequently so you don't miss anything and, at the same time, don't get burned out because of an all-day session.
The curators do lovely work in the organization and flow of the works. I particularly like the few Georgia O'Keefe pieces--they are stunning and highly recommended!
The gift shop is also a good place to pick up atypical and often unique presents.
