Cultural Center.

Cultural Center. Countries and nations are well known for their cultural heritage and values. There are several countries all around the globe which are culturally very rich and attract millions of sights. Chicago is also one of them, known for its Chicago Cultural Center. The Center has spectacular landmark buildings, structures, outstanding stained-glass auditoriums, theatre, dances, free music, lectures, films, family events and art exhibitions.

The Center was elegantly designed to make an impression and to demonstrate that Chicago had developed into a beautiful, attractive and sophisticated metropolis.

The top craftsmen of country and architects used the most extravagant and luxurious materials, like imported rare marbles, fine hardwoods, polished brass, favrile glass mosaics, colored stones and mother of pearls to create an awesome architectural showplace. It is located in the south side of the building. While it isn’t exactly a great example of living green, the beauty of the craft work is well worth seeing.

The largest stained glass of the world, Tiffany dome (which has a diameter of thirty eight feet, with about thirty thousand pieces of glass) was restored to provide its innovative magnificence in 2008. On the very north side of the building, there is a dome of forty feet diameter with some fifty thousand glass pieces in a complicated Renaissance model. It was designed by Millet and Healy.

Every year, Chicago Cultural Center presents thousands of free national, international, local and regional artists, performers and musicians, presenting a showcase where the people can enjoy, watch and learn several facts about arts.
