Lion Beanie Hat

Beanie Hat developed from Edward Kemeys¡¯ Lion, 1893, from the Art Institute of Chicago¡¯s collection. Iconic guardians of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Lions have stood at the Michigan Avenue entrance since the building¡¯s inaugural year. The site became the museum¡¯s permanent home at the conclusion of the 1893 World¡¯s Columbian Exposition. Modeled by Edward Kemeys, an essentially self-taught artist and the nation¡¯s first great animalier (sculptor of animals), the lion pair was unveiled May 10, 1894.
