It’s Wednesday Morning and you’re enjoying coffee and LoFi guitar with an artistic view of the Cloud Gate, aka “The Bean”, one of Chicago’s most popular sights. The monumental work of art anchors downtown Millennium Park and reflects the city’s famous skyline and the surrounding green space.

What is The Bean?
The Bean is a work of public art in the heart of Chicago, IL. The sculpture, which is officially titled Cloud Gate, is one of the world’s largest permanent outdoor art installations. The monumental work was unveiled in 2004 and quickly became of the Chicago’s most iconic sights.
The Bean is located in Millennium Park, the lakefront park in Chicago’s downtown Loop. It sits above the McCormick Tribune Plaza, where you’ll find alfresco dining in the summer and a free skating rink in winter. If you’re walking on Michigan Avenue between Randolph and Monroe, you really can’t miss it.
How big is it?
The Bean is 33 feet high, 42 feet wide, and 66 feet long. It weighs about 110 tons — roughly the same as 15 adult elephants.
Why is it called The Bean?
Have you seen it? While the piece’s official name is Cloud Gate, artist Anish Kapoor doesn’t title his works until after they’re completed. But when the structure was still under construction, renderings of the design were released to the public. Once Chicagoans saw the curved, oblong shape they quickly started calling it “The Bean” — and the nickname stuck.
