Fine Arts Building
4.7 (605)attraction
Ten floors of working artisan studios—from violin restorers to glassmakers—are still linked by manual elevators.
Description


Set along Michigan Avenue, this 1885 landmark shelters galleries, historical exhibits, and performance venues including the Studebaker Theater beneath its Art Nouveau murals. The creative spaces span disciplines such as puppetry and specialized restoration, where unobtrusive visitors often find makers willing to share their crafts. Between open doors, wandering the corridors and riding with the elevator attendant gives the building its distinct vintage atmosphere.
