The Chicago Art Institute was one of the places I went on my vacation.

It's strangely fascinating to see crowds of people gawking at a Van Gogh painting, when the entire room is filled with other wonderful paintings but other talented artists.

We left the place early, without even seeing half of what they had. I liked the way my dad put it: "You can only take so much awe".
