Frank,
Try The Chicago Art Museum or Chicago Museum of Art. :-)
The artwork you speak of is truly amazing as are most of Seurat's other
works. This same painting, I believe, was also utilized as the backdrop and
the basis for a play on Seurat.

You're speaking of "La Grande Jatte" by Georges Pierre Seurat. It's in the
museum of art in Chicago It's been so long ago that I forget the name of
this famous museum, but it has one of the greatest collections of
Impressionist art in the world. I may forget the name of the museum, but
I'll never forget the name of that painting or its artist's name. I used to
stand in front of La Grande Jatte for hours, in my college days. It is huge,
and a wonder to behold.
