If you are looking for one word that would describe the National Veterans Art Museum in Chicago, it would be none other than ‘unique’. A Veterans Museum in general would be a collection of artifacts of war that have been accumulated through history but this museum is far from that; it is a collection of human experiences of war and its expression through art.
The National Veterans Art Museum is located in the Indiana Avenue found in Chicago’s South Loop. The building is made up of 3 floors of exhibit space, each with a collection of deeply moving artifacts. At the entrance you will be greeted with over 58000 dog tags. These hang from the ceiling in a graceful fashion representing all the US soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam. The museum has some remarkable pieces of art work from over 250 different artists. Each piece speaks volumes of which over 2500 pieces stand. It is indeed one Museum that will tug your heartstrings with the impact of war and the emotions it arouses.
After all that Chicago exploration, your feet would be aching for a Five Star Hotel Chicago. The Peninsula Chicago is the Chicago luxury Hotel that will give you all the pampering you need. From foot rubs, to spas to delicious and ultra comfortable beds, this is that part of Chicago that will want to make you stay longer.
