芝加哥文化中心

这是一个漂亮的古建筑,很有艺术,还有一个漂亮的蒂芙尼圆顶。它也是一个可以得到所有旅游手册和你或许需要的旅游建议的很不错的中心地,那儿有一个烹饪师傅,还有其他的人可以解答你的问题,旅游手册和杂志都是按主题分类的。那里还有一个很不错的小咖啡吧,也很有艺术。是一个不错的休息的地方。

我最喜欢的就是芝加哥文化中心里面那种安静的气氛。堵车是最让人焦心的事了,特别是在高峰期的时候,能到一个这么宁静、这个平缓的地方来安静一下真是太好了。一楼到处都有那种毛茸茸的椅子和沙发,你可以随便坐下来喝个咖啡吃个蛋糕什么的,附近的面包店就有卖。当你坐在沙发上休息的时候,可以看看周围,特别是上面的几层楼,看起来就像意大利文艺复兴时期的风格一样。天花板装修得很华丽、大理石墙、锦砖地板。按现代的标准来说,算是很顶级很奢侈的装修的。里面有一个游客服务台,那里有很多关于这个城市的宣传手册和旅游信息。总之,这是个很棒的地方,甚至可以说是"必游"的景点。

如果你想表现出自己的生活丰富多彩而且个人品位高雅的话,那我觉得芝加哥文化中心就是你该去的地方。关于值不值得去这一问题,这其实取决于时下的在大厅陈列的展览品。里面的会议厅和京都纪念碑给这个文化中心带来了一丝阴森的感觉,这多多少少与大楼梯和普瑞思頓布萊得利音樂廳有些格格不入。可是普瑞思頓布萊得利音樂廳墙上挂着的那些艺术图案使得我这一趟没白来。礼品店也很不错啊。

来这里参观就半小时,而且是免费的哦!我们去的时候,还有个连环漫画展览呢,墙壁上的镶嵌图案非常漂亮!圆形大厅里的Tiffany玻璃圆屋顶非常令人震撼!往东边的玻璃楼梯走,从那儿可以看见千禧公园!

Not much culture here on the first floor. People reading magazines, eating, and not much going on at all. I was expecting poetry or music or art or SOMETHING cultural. Maybe someone walking around and saying "da Bears?"Nope, none of that. We stayed for a bit, and then bailed. Boring. With a Capital B.

The Cultural Center has some very interesting displays, but it also has amazing architectural features, from the Tiffany glass dome to the Carrara marble used throughout, it is a beautifully constructed building. We were fortunate enough to be on a private tour, so they gave us a glimpse into the building. I believe it to be something that most people completely over look and miss out on.

The two domes and the mosaics of the entry stairs are among the most beautiful and surprising spaces in the city, just stunning. And Cultural Center programs and great civic resources.

I dropped in to look around when I just happened to walk by after visiting Cloud Gate. This was a great stop. The architecture inside of this former public library was interesting. The Tiffany dome was beautiful. The exhibit areas had interesting artwork and the free Noon hour concert was a totally unexpected bonus. I thought I'd drop in for a few minutes and stayed for a couple of hours!

The Tiffany dome was so incredible, as was all of the mosaic tile work! Very interesting building. So glad my daughter and I took the time to search this gem out!

This is a great place for architecture aficionados. The neo-classic building is absolutely beautiful with not 1 but 2 glass domes (one of which is Tiffany). The detail in the glass and mosaic work in the former library is remarkable. Plus, its free.

i love this interior of this 1890's built library, now cultural center. the gem is the tiffany studios made stain glass dome in the preston bradley hall above with it white marble precious stone inlaid stairs guiding you up to the once city official reception venue where the mayor of welcomed presidents, royalty and diplomats. continue down stairs and head to the north end of the center to see another marvel of stain glass over the grand army of the republic rotunda by healy & millet.

We stopped in to see a featured art exhibit and spent a little over an hour walking around enjoying the art.

The interior design is very regal looking. There are many floors and rooms for art. There was one floor that had local artists displaying their take on interior design that was atrocious, but very kitschy in a way, so I ended up liking it for what it was. Kischy is actually a great way to describe the art in this center. Lots of it is interesting, but you can't take it seriously. The first floor also has an eating area where you can be alone (with the hope that nobody will walk up and make idle chitchat, as some of the elderly seem to do), have a drink and some food, and read.

A fantastic and a 'must' visit place for newcomers to the city. Whats more they even assign someone to guide you -in a totally unbiased way and very well located off the Golden MileGuidebooks and apps are ok but nothing like finding out about the city from the localFunny thing was, the student who helped us actually studied in London's Queen Mary College and was very hospitable when I said I drive past every day!I was well advised about which Jazz and Oyster bar to go to and given comprehensive information in a short space of time well done

Good place to visit early in the trip because there is a Chicago visitors center. Always interesting art shows and often music. Nice hallway full of historic architecture photos. It's also a senior center. Convenient on Michigan and Randolf.
