Christmas Eve At The Art Museum
The night before the 25th.
As the snowfall intensified outside, I made my way through the dimly lit galleries of the Art Institute of Chicago. The towering marble statues in the center of the room, and staircases adorned with twinkling lights and shimmering ornaments, cast a warm glow across the entire museum. I marveled at the intricate brushstrokes of European works ranging from 1400-1900.
We also hit up the print and drawings room. Made a stop to the Photography & Media room. Had fun among the sculptures of the Greek, Roman and Byzantine world. Pure magic of the night before Christmas.
As we made my way out of the museum and back into the frosty Chicago air, I felt inspired and grateful for the experience of being surrounded by such beauty.
