Is it a dog? A sphinx? A former lover? A fantastical creature from the mind of Pablo Picasso? Decide for yourselves.

The Picasso statue of Chicago, located in Daley Plaza in the Loop Area, has become a popular meeting spot for Chicagoans. Depending on the season, there are musical performances, farmer's markets, and other Chicago gatherings in the shadow of the Picasso statue.

And that piece of art is just the tip of the iceberg. Culture lovers all deem Chicago a must-see. The downtown Museum Campus is home to three wonderful Chicago museums: The Field Museum of Natural History, The Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium. (Do call ahead to avoid visiting during school trips.)

Fans of painting and sculpture can feast on the collections in Chicago's internationally renowned Museum of Contemporary Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
