Cloud Gate is a steel sculpture known as The Bean because of its shape. The sculpture is the first public artwork in the United States by renowned artist Anish Kapoor. The privately funded artwork cost $23 million, considerably more than the original $6 million estimate. It is made of 168 stainless steel panels welded together. Its highly polished exterior has no visible seams and weighs 100 tons. The Bean is popular with park visitors for taking distorted photographic self-portraits.

Even if the Cloud Gate already exists as another highlight, a visit is a must. Fascinating that the sculpture is always clean and shiny ...
