Peace and Quiet - Chicago Cultural Center

After a hectic shopping spree on Michigan Avenue, or a fun, yet tiring day at Millennium Park - stop by the Chicago Cultural Center to unwind and reflect on your life. This place serves as a solitude-shelter from the city noise. Sometimes you need to go to a quiet place just to think about your plans for the day or just to reflect on what you have done today.

I visited the Center to see the restoration of the Tiffany Dome in the Preston Bradley Hall (pictured). It is quiet magnificent and the space in the hall will give you enough room to gaze at this wonder. The Hall is the best place to find peace. There is the occasional person walking around on their cell phone disturbing the peace, but other than that - it is a quiet stop.

Make sure to visit the Preston Bradley Hall during the Grant Park Music Festival because you can catch musical performances of classical and world music.
