Descrizione
This architecture and history tour gives an introduction into what defines Chicago. We'll walk the streets of the Loop, see beautiful interiors and, of course, get to The Bean.
Explore Chicago’s historic Loop through the prism of its architecture. This three-hour trek will cover defining moments from 350 years of its history, including the first Europeans to come through here, the Great Chicago Fire, the origin of the skyscraper, the 1893 World’s Fair, Prohibition and the creation of Millennium Park.
Along the way, you’ll discover some of the Loop’s most beautiful interiors, found in buildings that thousands of people walk past every day, completely unaware of what’s inside…And how things created inside those buildings shaped our current world for the better.
You’ll hear the stories of the men and women--including Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Daniel Burnham, Potter and Bertha Palmer, and Muddy Waters--who made Chicago what it is today, and those, like Jeanne Gang, who are defining Chicago’s architectural future.
