Cloud Gate

Cloud Gate also called “The Bean” is located in Millennium Park and is a 3 story 110-ton steel sculpture created by Anish Kapoor.

Cloud Gate sits in the AT&T Plaza in Downtown Chicago, Illinois and was meant to resemble a drop of mercury hovering over the plaza. The mirror-like surface provides reflections of the city skyline and the sky.
