I think alot more people would then view their collection if it were there, and the Art Institute would become even more famous!
Yeah, in typical (and forever annoying) Chicago fashion, we fail to reveal to the world how much of a treasure trove we have lying in waiting.

I haven’t been to the OI but I’m planning a trip. I’m certain it will be intriguing. I absolutely LOVE ancient history
