Intuit Art Museum

This guide to the Intuit Art Museum in Chicago follows Henry Darger, who spent decades washing dishes at two Chicago hospitals while, behind a locked door on Fullerton Avenue, he spent his nights writing and illustrating a novel that ran past fifteen thousand pages. None of his coworkers ever knew. Stand in the room downstairs, rebuilt from furniture and paint tins his landlords saved, and you're in the workshop no one else was allowed to see.
