C.O.C.A Events: The Modern Wing Opens In Chicago

One of the things we love about Chicago is the culture that fills our windy city air. This coming Saturday(May 16th) we add the second largest museum in the United States to list of things that makes our city so great. The modern wing was designed by world renowned Renzo Piano. Luckily for me I have a membership at the Art Institute of Chicago and can finally put it to good use :).
