The blockbuster Andy Warhol exhibit has landed in Chicago, and the whole city is getting in on the celebration of one of the world’s most iconic artists. 

Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again, now open at the Art Institute of Chicago, is the first major U.S. retrospective of Warhol’s work in 30 years. Outside the museum walls, the city’s bars, hotels, and galleries are paying homage to the pop art master. From artistic cocktails to a peek inside Warhol’s home, here are 7 ways to experience Warhol in Chicago.
