Museum Studio Spaces VII

Since we became aware of the Chicago Imagist artists, we have taken every opportunity to learn more about them and see their work, so we were excited to see the Art Institute’s new Christina Ramberg retrospective. While we were there, we walked over to check out the revamped Ryan Learning Center.

It looks more like a library than an art studio! The art project that day was to make a miniature room inspired by the museum’s Thorne Minature Rooms.

I was especially interested in the system they had to display 3D pieces because that has been a challenge with the 3D flea circuses we have been making at the Chicago Children’s Museum.

I also think the building materials on the tables are a great art studio provision.

There was a toddler area as well.

The Trott Gallery featured a hands-on exhibit about art restoration.

I’d like to take a closer look at some other areas and see the newest art project which is inspired by the current Georgia O’Keefe exhibit so when I go to that I will definitely stop by the Ryan Learning Center again!
