Smith Museum of Stained Glass

I spent the entire first week of November in Chicago for work, and was thrilled to spend the last few days of my trip with my parents, aunt and uncle. I always enjoy combining work trips with tourist time, and this trip was no different.

I'll craft a post that details our adventures in a bit, but I wanted to share some pictures from the Smith Museum of Stained Glass, which is located, oddly enough, on Navy Pier. According to the Museum's website, it is the first museum in the US to be dedicated to Stained Glass Windows, and features 150 windows! Several of the windows are the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and showcase master craftsmanship.

The Museum is a pretty cool gem, hidden in an otherwise over-hyped tourist attraction. Check out some pictures of the beautiful works of art.
