Barnsworth

Great staff, great tour, great architecture.

This room contains the wardrobe closet that used to be in the Farnsworth house. It was designed by students from IIT. I actually think the most interesting thing about the space is the series of photos from the original McCormick house designed by Mies. The house was moved to Elmhurst and is part of the Elmhurst Museum (well worth the visit). However, the EAM doesn't have any photos of how the home looked when it was lived in. You can find these inside Barnsworth.

Beautiful example of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe modern architecture.

First of all it's Farnsworth NOT Barnsworth. It is an excellent architectural tour.

It's such a beautiful addition to The Farnsworth House. It holds the Wardrobe that Edith insisted Mies build for her. Due to flooding concerns, it is now on display on it's own in The Barnsworth! Go see the House and check out the Barn!
