CHICAGO (CBS) -- You can see a refreshed version of an iconic painting on Thursday at the Art Institute.
"A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat is being re-hung, this time in a new frame and in a refreshed gallery space.
Earlier this month, CBS 2 got a behind the scenes look at the touch-ups. The new frame is closer to what Seurat would have put on the masterpiece. You can see the refreshed painting in person when the gallery reopens Thursday.
"A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — 1884" is on the move at the Art Institute!
