The museum was established in 1967, and is one of the largest contemporary art museums in the world. This museum is easy to find, and is located in 220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago. The museum's collection has grown to include more than 2,000 works.People can experience the work and ideas of living artists and understand the historical, social, and cultural context of the art of our time. We visited this museum last week and mainly visited the 4th floor of the museum. The 4th floor was dedicated to art in the caribbean diaspora. The exhibition is anchored in the concept of diaspora,They tokes the 1990s as its cultural bocidrop, gathering artworks by thirty-seven arfists. What attracted me most is the work called LANDSCAPE, which is the work of Albert and designed by Anita Robin Family Gallerys. This art work is very colorful and lush beauty of the tropical landscape. However, it conceals painful and violent histories. It makes me feel beautiful but sad.

     It is hard to imagine that there is such an amazing and artistic place at HaroldWashington College. Art Exhibit is located on the eleventh floor and it was my first time to visit there. I was most shocked by this piece of art, which is named Natalia Cuevas. When I saw this artwork, I thought it cannot be called artwork. However, after I saw its explanation I changed my mind. It is telling about migrant deaths along the U.S. Mexican border and has a deep meaning.
