About Cloud Gate
The Cloud Gate is also known as The Bean because it looks like a bean. It is located in Chicago"s Millennium Park. The sleek exterior of this sculpture reflects the distorted Chicago skyline, making it a popular photography spot for tourists in Chicago. Cloud Gate is known as a symbolic and innovative work. The mirror effect of the statue is reminiscent of the distorting mirrors in previous amusement parks.But there is a significant use for it to make the giant Cloud Gate look much lighter.

one of the popular joints in chicago and a center for meeting new people and making good friends.
there were a lot of people who seem really interested in the visual effects of this little stainless steel object.
it is like a big silver boble can pop anytime, so neat look and see youself inside at top reflection!
The experience of watching visitors from all over the world marvel at the wonder Chicagoans affectionately call "the bean" is worth the hustle of finding parking. Don't pass Cloudgate by when your friends come to visit no matter you've seen it a bunch of times!
Such a beautiful place to walk around. If you want to take amazing photos I would get there early
It's a bit challenging to get the perfect photo here since it is always so crowded, but it is definitely worth your time to see this amazing piece of art.
The famous Cloud Gate, or "The Bean", fun area to take photos of your reflection, right in a busy area in Millennial Park.
Amazing, We spent lot of time there around. The surroundings are also excellent. We took lot of pictures there. It is also very close to some very ggo spots.
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States.The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect Chicago’s famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high.Cloud Gate sits upon the AT&T Plaza, which was made possible by a gift from AT&T.
Fun must see sight when visiting Chicago. Beware of crowds and countless selfie sticks
