    I was so delighted to find out that the CAC offers a Tiffany walking tour because I've always admired Tiffany glass. The Tiffany walking tour shows you some of the magical work created by Tiffany studios over the years. Who knew we had so many Tiffany gems in Chicago?! Well, on this tour you get to tour my favorite building (Chicago Cultural Center) and see the illustrious Tiffany dome and more. You'll also get to check out the Tiffany mosaic ceiling inside Macy's on State Street AND check out a gorgeous mosaic art piece in the Marquette building. Take this light walking tour to see some magnificent glass and mosaic work across downtown Chicago!

    Our docent was so knowledgeable about the locations of Louis Comfort Tiffany's major work in the downtown area of Chicago...all in buildings we might not randomly go in, or in interiors we might not look up in. An excellent 90 minutes of exploration (mostly in air-conditioning, hooray!) and education and beauty.

    Susan was amazing, very well informed and very engaged. The only feedback is that the topic could have benefitted with another half hour - but that could just be me!
