Fodor's Review:

Formerly the Mexican Fine Arts Museum Center, this sparkling site, the largest Latino museum in the country, is half art museum, half cultural exploration. After the big downtown museums, this is the one you shouldn't miss. Galleries house impressive collections of contemporary, traditional, and meso-American art from both sides of the border, as well as vivid exhibits that trace immigration woes and political fights. Every fall, the giant Day of the Dead exhibit stuns Chicagoans with its altars from artists across the country.

Cost: Free
Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-5
