Cloud Gate
Cloud Gate  (&quot;The Bean&quot;) is a public sculpture by talented British artist Anish Kapoor. The Bean&quot; was created using a huge number of individual stainless steel plates -- Cloud Gate's seamless surface is the result of thousands of hours of polishing.

Cloud Gate is quickly becoming one of the more popular photo opportunities in the city. In 2005, the City of Chicago tried an ill-fated attempt at requiring permits to photograph the sculpture -- a move that was soon rescinded to the delight of shutterbugs everywhere.
