Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 23 works by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Dürer brought the Italian Renaissance to Northern Europe and was the first artist north of the Alps to fully understand himself as a great artist. His self-portraits — among the first in Western art — are extraordinary objects in person: the surface of his panels has a precision that challenges belief.

The Art Institute of Chicago is at Millennium Park — take the Red or Green CTA line to Adams/Wabash. Allow at least three hours; the Impressionist collection alone warrants a full morning. Illinois residents receive free entry on select days.
