Not just a park but a green space with several exciting areas, Millennium Park can attract anyone seeking a break from the city on Lake Michigan and has activities both for summer and winter.
Undoubtedly the most remarkable work of art in Millennium Park is the Cloud Gate - which was renamed to the Bean almost instantly after its inauguration in 2004. This is a true masterpiece of art: simple, yet very effective and attractive to a wide public. No wonder: the perfectly smooth surface of this curvaceous piece of stainless steel is a very interesting piece of interactive art. Created by Anish Kapoor, the Cloud Gate consists of 168 plates of stainless steel but appears to be made from one piece. From a distance, it reflects part of the skyline of Chicago. The closer you get, the more you see of yourself - until you become really tall. But this is not all. You can actually walk under the piece of art, and the views from under the Cloud Gate are fantastic: you see many reflections of reflections and as you move under the work of art and look up, you see the square tiles of the floor, and you can see yourself many times over in a warped image of reality. This is a fantasy world come true.
