Conozca la vida y obra de Louis Comfort Tiffany mientras visitamos algunas de las instalaciones de vidrio y mosaico más magníficas de Chicago, cada una diseñada y elaborada por la Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company. A finales del siglo XIX, el movimiento Arts and Crafts revivió el interés por el vidrio decorativo. Las casas y edificios públicos nuevos y bien considerados de la época se consideraban incompletos sin vidrio decorativo o mosaicos. Louis Comfort Tiffany, el practicante preeminente de este arte, ganó gran exposición por una capilla que diseñó para la Exposición Mundial Colombina de 1893 en Chicago. Hoy en día, la ciudad alberga una de las colecciones más grandes de vidrio de arte Tiffany en los Estados Unidos. Esta gira presenta algunos ejemplos notables del trabajo de Tiffany.

Susan was a great docent. She was very detailed and passionate about the tour and was very willing to answer questions. The tour itself went through a few buildings of significance and was very informative and worthwhile. Parts of it are outside but it’s only a couple of blocks walk between sites.
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again!
On June 17, my husband and I toured “Tiffany Treasures , lead by outstanding docent and history expert Siobhan H. Siobhan shared fascinating insights into the design, construction and restoration of Chicago Tiffany works such as stained glass domes in the Chicago Cultural Center, the mosaics in the ceiling of Macy’s (the former Marshall Fields) and atrium of the Marquette Building. An example of the captivating backstories Siobhan offered: Tiffany hired women to create the stained glass panels because the male-only union workers were on strike. Changing tastes deemed Tiffany works old-fashioned. Many were removed, haphazardly stored, or demolished. This tour restored our hope that Chicago's remaining architectural Tiffany works can be viewed and appreciated.
We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and appreciate the great review!
This was an excellent tour and Joan really knows her stuff! She was enthusiastic, personable, clear and friendly. I felt I learned a lot about Tiffany and the glass and the tour itself is a real WOW! If you want to be stunned, take this tour.
Thank you for the wonderful review! The Tiffany Tour is spectacular and we're so happy you enjoyed exploring with Joan. We hope to see you on more tours soon!
Ingrid was a great tour guide, sharing a lot of interesting history and showing highlights of Tiffany glass in and around the Cultural Architecture Center. Just lovely!
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again!
Pris did a great job as our guide bringing to life all of the Tiffany works that we saw. We had a wonderful time! Price was very reasonable and just the right amount of time.
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the Tiffany tour and hope to see you again!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and affable! We enjoyed it very much. The only issue was finding the exact spot to meet. It would be helpful to provide more specific information for future tours.
Guide was very knowledgeable! Domes were really beautiful- hard to believe it was in a public library!
Great tour! Claudia the tour guide was excellent!!! Not too much walking Well planned Elevator access Safe
I was so delighted to find out that the CAC offers a Tiffany walking tour because I've always admired Tiffany glass. The Tiffany walking tour shows you some of the magical work created by Tiffany studios over the years. Who knew we had so many Tiffany gems in Chicago?! Well, on this tour you get to tour my favorite building (Chicago Cultural Center) and see the illustrious Tiffany dome and more. You'll also get to check out the Tiffany mosaic ceiling inside Macy's on State Street AND check out a gorgeous mosaic art piece in the Marquette building. Take this light walking tour to see some magnificent glass and mosaic work across downtown Chicago!
Thank you for the fantastic review! The Tiffany Treasures tour really showcases some stunning art. We hope to see you on more tours soon!
Our docent was so knowledgeable about the locations of Louis Comfort Tiffany's major work in the downtown area of Chicago...all in buildings we might not randomly go in, or in interiors we might not look up in. An excellent 90 minutes of exploration (mostly in air-conditioning, hooray!) and education and beauty.
An indoors tour is a great way to escape the heat and tour at the same time! Thank you for the fantastic review. We hope to see you again soon!
