One of the world’s major art museums, the Art Institute of Chicago houses an extraordinary collection of objects from across places, cultures, and times.

All images displayed in the extension are:

This is a fantastic way to randomly see the AI art collection. Be forewarned that not all of the images are safe for work if your work frowns on nudity or ancient pottery with phalluses.

This extension is the best. Multiple times in a day, I'm looking at incredible works that keep me thinking and feeling through my mundane existence, elevating my consciousness so that I'm not dead inside. No, but seriously, most truth is said in jest, and I really love this extension. The Institute has a mindboggling collection, and there are things that come up that I wouldn't normally stop to look at. Install this immediately.
