Don’t know the difference between Manet and Monet, Expressionism and Impressionism, or Song and Tang China? Now is the time to find out! Meet curators, conservators, and educators who will be available all day throughout the galleries to give informed talks and answer questions.

Sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon in Chicago.
