Beginning Saturday, there will be 26 Kahlo works plus much related material on view at the College of DuPage’s Cleve Carney Museum of Art, the largest collection of her work to be shown in the Chicago area since a 1978 Museum of Contemporary Art exhibition.

When word comes of a big art exhibition traveling to the Chicago area, most people probably expect it to be shown at one of the big, widely recognized institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago or Chicago Cultural Center.
But when a major Frida Kahlo exhibition opens June 5, it will go on view more than 25 miles west of Chicago’s downtown in a somewhat smaller, suburban venue the College of DuPage’s recently renamed Cleve Carney Museum of Art in Glen Ellyn.
‘Frida Kahlo: Timeless’
When: June 5-Sept. 6
Where: Cleve Carney Museum of Art, McAninch Arts Center, College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Blvd., Glen Ellyn
