This is as close as I got to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I only visited the exterior of their musuem because of their crappy anti-photography policy in their musuem.

It's amazing to me that the Art Institute of Chicago (a mere few miles away, with a much better contemporary art collection) allows photography, while the backwards thinking Musuem of Contemporary Art does not. Further, some of the most significant contemporary art musuems in the world allow photography including the MOMA in New York City and the SF MOMA in San Francisco.

As much as I would have liked to have visited the Museum of Contemporary Art while visiting Chicago, I am glad that they did not get my admission fee.

It's terrible when museums like this put photographer unfriendly policies in place to try and sell more of their overpriced postcards and books at their bookstore.

The Musuem of Contemporary Art in Chicago should change this anti-photographer and unfriendly photography policy.
