Episode 1: The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
We will start our journey in America, and more precisely in Chicago: the windy city. You just arrived at O'Hare, you are walking through the airport in search of a taxi. We are in America, so you find one quickly. No time for the hotel room, let's directly head to the Museum of Contemporary art on Chicago Avenue.
The taxi drops you in front of the building. You look up, take a deep breath and smile, because you know it, this is the first step of an incredible adventure lead by art.

You've decided to visit two exhibitions today. The first one is the Earthly Delights Exhibition, available until the 30th of November. It brings together the work of eight artists, these artists share the belief in the critical power of beauty. You are electrified, it is not only interesting but captivating. You get out of the exhibition with your head filled in with the beautiful works of these artists, and the strange impression of satisfaction. A love for modern art? Modern love? That sounds like a David Bowie tube.
You take out your mobile phone, plug in the headphones, and put in the immortal song of Bowie: Modern Love.

The rhythm of the saxophone is running through your body. You even start snapping your fingers. It is an excellent introduction to the next exhibition: "David Bowie is". A coincidence? I think not!
You discover this retrospective of the artist's works. But also his objects, lyrics, and songs that made the entire world dance as one. It is a great exhibition, and the opportunity for you to round up your visit of the museum with a little dance, that hopefully no one saw... What can you say, that's the power of music...
You got out of the museum, and you are quite hungry now. You order a real Chicago hot dog on the corner of the street and head to the park facing the Lake Michigan. You sit on a bench and reflect on the journey that you started. The question now becomes: what is the next destination?
