"Cloud Gate, also known as "The Bean," is a large public sculpture iconic to Chicago. Located in Millennium Park, it is created from polished stainless steel plates, its smooth, mirror-like surface reflecting you and the city's skyline.
Free public park open year-round, sometimes the park restricts access when at capacity"
