We were able to walk from the Gammel Dansk to the Chicago Art Institute and see the Obama portraits.
We had seen an exhibit by Kehinde Wiley at the Seattle Art Museum. Check his artwork out on Google images. He did the portrait of Barack Obama. We lucked out and got tickets by going early in the morning and waiting in line. We felt fortunate to see the portraits in the Obamas' hometown. The portraits will travel to five cities in the US, then return to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, and eventually be displayed in the White House.
