The Chicago Cultural Center is a Chicago Landmark that serves as one of the United States' most comprehensive arts and cultural centers, presenting more than 1,000 annual performances, programs, and exhibitions across all styles of the visual, literary, and performing arts. The center was originally opened in 1897 and housed the city's central library branch until 1977. Today, it serves as the city's official reception venue, hosting international political and social luminaries as guests of the Mayor of Chicago. The five-story building showcases gorgeous neoclassical and Renaissance architectural elements and features notable design elements such as the world's largest Tiffany glass dome. Limited slots for free 45-minute tours of the center are offered Wednesdays through Saturdays, along with a variety of free art exhibits showcased in the center's first, second, and fourth floor gallery spaces.
