the Bean
Mirrored Chicago landmark
The Bean is the popular nickname for Cloud Gate, Anish Kapoor's massive stainless steel sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park.
Its reflective, legume-shaped surface mirrors the city skyline and visitors who gather beneath it: We took pictures at the Bean.
The sculpture has become Chicago's most recognizable landmark and a mandatory tourist stop.
