Chicago stages a cultural coup this season with three highly anticipated exhibi- tions. Through May 1, the Chicago Cultural Center marries art and science with Strandbeest: The Dream Machines of Theo Jansen, highlighting the Dutch artist's innovative, animal-like kinetic sculptures (78 E. Washington St., 312-744- 3316; cityofchicago.org/ dcase). Meanwhile, as Downton Abbey readies for its final sendoff, the Richard H. Driehaus Museum hosts Dressing Downton: Changing Fashion for Changing Times (40 E. Erie St., 312-482-8933; driehaus- museum.org). Showcasing more than 35 costumes from the PBS series through May 8, the exhibit connects the upstairs- downstairs drama with the elite Chicagoans of the early 20th century ("The focus was entirely on Paris as the center of fashion," notes guest curator Ruta Saliklis). And the Art Institute welcomes fans of Post-Impressionism for Van Gogh's Bedrooms, the inaugural survey of the artist's landmark Bedroom paintings, with all three works on display through May 10 (111 S. Michigan Ave., 312-443-3600; artic.edu). . from left: Vincent van Gogh's The Poet's Garden is among the 36 works on display at the Art Institute's "Bedrooms" exhibit; Dressing Downton offers an up-close look at the fictional Crawley family; and Animaris Apodiacula is one example of visionary Theo Jansen's awe-inspiring Strandbeests. 58  michiganavemag.com SCENE Exhibitionist
