Many of the Art Institute's prize impressionist masterpieces are coming home just in time for the holidays. The museum's renowned Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection will be fully reinstalled in 11 renovated and expanded galleries by Dec. 19. Works of art by Gustave Caillebotte (of Paris Street, Rainy Day fame), Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh that were on loan to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth Texas for a four-month stay are back in the Windy City.
