A view of a river on a warm, fall afternoon with three kayakers making their way along a very smooth water surface. Trees in full fall colored foliage line the riverbanks A brick wall mural of a pair of very stylized, cartoon figures in an industrial area and up in the upper right there's a sign that says “Food Pick Up” An outdoor dollhouse that's been decorated with a very Halloween theme is sitting outside along the street with cars and two flats visible in the background An image of a quiet neighborhood seen in an alley on a fall evening. The trees seen in the distance are changing into fall colored foliage.

A man is leaning out of his apartment window to watch the parade below. He has decorated his windows with hanging Chicago flag on one and a pride rainbow flag on the other, with pleated rainbow flags along the top of each. In his other window a bubble machine is spraying bubbles out to the street below A woman in a bright orange, Mexican dance dress with a feather-laden tiara waves a rainbow fan in her face as she dances by. A man in a blue and black leather animal mask is seen among arms waving as he moves by with several other leather furries A drag queen with a tiara, long lavender hair and a grey sequined dress sitting on the back of an open convertible is fanning herself with a rainbow-themed fan that says "Rule Your World"

A man carrying a sign that says "Horny 4 Books" is seen next to a woman carrying a sign reading "History makes Me Wet" A young man in a blue shirt and black sunglasses is using a bubble gun to "shoot" bubbles toward the direction of the camera A man with streaked blonde hair with a vibrant makeup display that looks something like a cross between clown make-up and a stitched-on child's doll face and wearing a colorful rainbow bandana waves to the crowd. A woman is seen walking along the edge of the parade fence carrying a sign that says "Free Mom Hugs"

A woman dances down the street while wearing a large Brazilian dance dress with an enormous train of vibrant blue feathers A man in a shiny white half-top and wearing a white cowboy hat, and wearing a bit of shiny white jewelry on his left cheek waves his hand in the air A man with a rainbow-colored spiky mohawk hairdo and wearing a jean jacket vest with rock and punk band logo labels on it is carrying a section of a giant American flag as part of a military veterans' group A drag queen in bright, white makeup with rouge accents and wearing a white blouse with a pink skirt walks by holding a pink, blue and white umbrella to stave off the sun and heat.

I’m sure you’ll catch a lot of the well-known work just by walking through the main/older wing. It’s all easy to find. Somewhat of a hidden but fun exhibit is the miniatures room on the lower level of the older part of the building (at the Michigan Ave. side)
