Photography Museums Chicago
How does this sound for a fun, casual date?
Take train to downtown Chicago, then walk to museum of modern photography (she loves photography), then walk up Michigan Ave. and through Millennium Park and the “Magnificent Mile” towards Dave and Busters, which after going there for awhile heading back to the train while stopping for ice cream along the way…
Optional things: If she isn’t interested in Dave and Busters then there is bowling close by or even shopping. Also if she wants to get dinner instead of ice cream before the train back, then I’ll be all for it and pay too. I’m just not planning for that because I don’t want to have too much going on and I want it casual and fun, rather than “romantic”. Also the weather is supposed to be possibly rainy and tstorms which is the reason for indoor activities.
* Dave and Busters is like an arcade/restaurant/bar for adults
* Magnificent Mile is famous strip in Chicago for shopping
So what do you think? Would a girl in early 20s like this?
im in my early 20s and i would love a date like that. its thoughtful and considerate. i like how you also planned other situations just in case she isn’t interested in something. very nice.

Museums Matter (Hardcover) $30.62  The concept of an encyclopedic museum was born of the Enlightenment, a manifestation of society’s growing belief that the spread of knowledge and the promotion of intellectual inquiry were crucial to human development and the future of a rational society. But in recent years, museums have been under attack, with critics arguing that they are little more than relics and promoters of imperialism. Could it be that the encyclopedic museum has outlived its usefulness?            With Museums Matter, James Cuno, president and director of the Art Institute of Chicago, replies with a resounding “No!” He takes us on a brief tour of the modern museum, from the creation of the British Museum—the archetypal encyclopedic collection—to the present, when major museums host millions of visitors annually and play a major role in the cultural lives of their cities. Along the way, Cuno acknowledges the legitimate questions about the role of museums in nation-building and imperialism, but he argues strenuously that even a truly national museum like the Louvre can’t help but open visitors’ eyes and minds to the wide diversity of world cultures and the stunning art that is our common heritage. Engaging with thinkers such as Edward Said and Martha Nussbaum, and drawing on examples from the politics of India to the destruction of the Bramiyan Buddhas to the history of trade and travel, Cuno makes a case for the encyclopedic museum as a truly cosmopolitan institution, promoting tolerance, understanding, and a shared sense of history—values that are essential in our ever more globalized age.            Powerful, passionate, and to the point, Museums Matter is the product of a lifetime of working in and thinking about museums; no museumgoer should miss it. |

Altered and Adorned: Using Renaissance Prints in Daily Life $22.31 Today Renaissance-era prints are typically preserved behind glass or in solander boxes in museums, but these decorative objects were once a central part of everyday life. “Altered and Adorned “is a delightful, surprising look at how prints were used: affixed on walls; glued into albums, books, and boxes; annotated; hand-colored; or cut apart. This handsome volume introduces readers to the experimental world of printmaking in the mid-15th and 16th centuries and the array of objects it inspired, from illustrated books, sewing patterns, and wearable ornaments to printed sundials and anatomical charts. It features many never-before-published treasures from the Art Institute of Chicago’s rich permanent collection, along with essays on the ways prints functioned–in some cases as three-dimensional and interactive works–and how their condition communicates their use. |
