About This Tour

About

Dive into the world of Edward Hopper's iconic painting Nighthawks on this unique virtual tour across Chicago locations. 


Since 1942, Nighthawks has captivated visitors at the Art Institute of Chicago, drawing people from around the globe to its portrayal of a 24-hour diner and its introspective patrons. 


Your journey begins with a leisurely stroll up Michigan Avenue, where you’ll uncover the history of the Art Institute and its renowned lions. You'll also pass by the Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and explore Nighthawks' cameo in the classic 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off


The tour culminates with a virtual visit to a vibrant mural in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, a modern twist on Hopper’s work infused with local culture and movie references.
