 "The Dinner Party", which includes 39 placesettings as well as the names of 999 women on a "Heritage Floor", is enclosed in large, canting glass walls that provide a first glimpse of Chicago’s work.It is surrounded by a series of distinct, yet interconnected series of galleries that include two changing exhibition galleries and a study center that can be transformed from an academic forum into a multimedia gallery, as required, by a large pivoting wall.The Center's opening exhibition, "Global Feminisms" was the first international exhibit exclusively dedicated to feminist art from 1990 to the present.
