111 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60603

Kick off the holiday season at the Art Institute with the 26th Annual Wreathing of the Lions on Friday, November 24. The celebration continues with seasonal classics like the Neapolitan crèche and the Holiday Thorne Rooms—as well as the brand-new exhibition Rodin: Sculptor and Storyteller, which brings together sculptures and drawings to explore Rodin’s creative process and his capacity to craft engaging narratives. Enjoy holiday-inspired fare in the Art Institute’s three restaurants, and swing by the museum’s shops for unique holiday gifts for everyone on your list.
