Join the OI as we explore some of the United States most important collections and special exhibits. These short tours are ideal for a quick getaway and provide our out-of-Chicago members a chance to experience the OI in their own backyard.
Due to the global spread of COVID-19, all OI trips have been cancelled or postponed. Please do check back in the future for both domestic and international offerings.
Upcoming tours will be announced soon… please do check back!
