I had a very nice day yesterday with my mom in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, home to the University of Chicago.
Below is a photo recap, covering:
- Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright - We took a tour but interior photos were not allowed
- Rockefeller Chapel
- Oriental Institute Museum
- Smart Museum of Art
- Various sights around campus, including Henry Moore's Nuclear Energy sculpture
