  • Art Institute of Chicago: Drag Queen Un-Highlights Tour

    Anonymous review on 2/18/2018
    Very informative and fun tour of CIA—with a history of drag queens thrown in for good measure. Wanda Screw was very knowledgeable about the art; we also tapped our own inner drag queens, under her leadership. Sarah, our other guide, had special surprises along the tour, too. We loved it!
