Known forcontemporary artStreetervillemoderndesign
One of the largest contemporary art museums in the US, with a bold rotating program spanning painting, sculpture, performance, and video installation. The rooftop terrace and Marisol restaurant are genuine draws beyond the galleries. Free on Tuesdays for Illinois residents is a great deal. Some visitors find the permanent collection thin compared to the rotating shows, so check what's on before visiting.
