The Chicago Art Institute has two modern gardens.The Institute itself, built in conjunction with the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, is Beaux Arts. The South Garden, built in 1962 was designed by the master landscape architect Dan Kiley and is perhaps his most important public project. It has a pattern of silver granite planters, with hawthorns, in orange gravel. The North Garden was designed, as a sculpture court, by the landscape architect Laurie Olin.

One of my absolute pilgrimage spots whenever I visit Chicago! The garden steps down from the street ever so slightly, the pea gravel has a soft crunching sound under your feet and the horizontal branching of the Hawthrone trees creates a perfect ceiling to the space.
