The most famous painting is in Chicago, with Grant Wood's American Gothic and Edward Hopper's Nighthawks.
I have seen it several times.

Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte is an impressive work. Seeing it in a book or online doesn't do it justice.
Particularly because, although there are smaller "study" versions as he worked up to it, the painting itself is 10 feet wide and most references don't include that context (at least not visually, they often list the numbers.)
This view in the wiki communicates the scale and setting in the museum. I have a photo further back.
