DOWNTOWN — The holidays are over, but the Art Institute's free winter weekdays are coming soon. 

Illinois residents can enter the acclaimed art museum, 111 S. Michigan Ave., for free on weekdays from Jan. 9 through Feb. 16, a spokeswoman said. The deal applies during all hours of operation Monday through Friday.

Free winter weekdays are an annual tradition at the museum, which already offers free admission to Illinoisans on Thursday nights. Chicagoans ages 14 to 17 years old now get free admission thanks to a generous donation. 

The free winter weekdays will arrive after a cold week with single-digit temperatures in the forecast.
