One of the best ways to introduce yourself to a city is to visit the local museum. If you travel to America’s big cities then you will be treated to a plethora of art. Don’t miss these five top museums during your next timeshare rental:

The Art Institute of Chicago: When you travel to Chicago ask a local: “What must I do while I’m in town?” Most Chicago locals will tell you: “Don’t miss The Art Institute of Chicago.” This museum is packed full of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art.
