we had chance to check out the new modern wing at the art institute last wednesday.  it was nice, though not jaw-dropping.  it reminded me a bit of the tate in london, with the long wooden stairs.  the best part of the modern wing is that it overlooks millennium park, and their new restaurant, terzo piano, has a patio area that overlooks the park as well.  the video is of that patio area, obviously unavailable for dining, but absolutely beautiful with the snow.
