This is a great little museum on the University of Chicago campus, and the best part: ITS FREE!!! And seriously, for being a free museum, it has a great collection. They have work by Joseph Albers, Mark Rothko, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Louis Sullivan (just to name a few). They also have great temporary exhibitions that are always well curated, and they always have interesting things in their lobby. They have artists paint a huge wall in their lobby or create a site-specific installation, and they never fail to impress.

This museum is cool as hell. Theres some unique art and its situations right on U Chicagos campus in one of Chicagos most notable neighborhoods, Hyde Park. I went to a free charcoal figure drawing class there like a week ago, and they gave out free pizza.

The Smarts collections are small, but the quality here is remarkable. There is a little something for everyone. Very enjoyable way to spend a few hours and make a redneck like me feel cultured.

Their permanent collection is fairly impressive for a small museum (Frank Lloyd Wright furniture and an original Rothko), but their special collections are either hit-or-miss (but mostly, hit).

This museum exceeded my expectations. The art inside was intricate and unique with a variety of pieces from around the world and different times. Its also a decent size and well worth a visit.

All is close except the modern gallery. Travel so far for nothing and the webpage dont indicate that is under construction. What a shame on the museum.

A fun and free museum to go with the family or art lovers. The cafe is great to study in and their outside area is beautiful for a snack/ coffee break.

Really wonderful small museum with many opportunities of engagement. Love the cafe space outside of the gallery. Beautiful outdoor grounds as well.

It worth to visit if you love arts. The good thing is no admission fees required.
