Culture

In downtown Chicago, between Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan, stands the Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by the German functionalist Josef Paul Kleihaus.
After visiting the various exhibits and taking the obligatory photograph of the northern stairwell with its enchanting elliptical design, we recommend a visit to Marisol Restaurant & Bar, where playful groin vaults punctuate the straight, functional lines and create space, thereby allowing Chris Ofili’s jazz and hip-hop flavored art to bloom.
