Description
The Cloud Gate Sculpture, also known as the "bean," is one of the top things to see in Chicago. Designed by the artists Anish Kapoor, the Chicago the Bean sculpture was unveiled at the opening of Millennium Park in 2004. It is made of 168 highly polished stainless steel plates - giving the appearance of liquid mercury. A large, mirrored bean-shaped sculpture is one of the world’s largest permanent outdoor art installations. Its stainless-steel surface highly reflects the activity and lights of the park and surrounding city skyline, inviting visitors to touch and interact with its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected from a variety of perspectives.
Every day, Cloud Gate accumulates sweat, grease, fingerprint grime, or shoe dirt from the myriad of visitors who touch it. Its cleaning schedule varies by season, but maintenance crews wipe the lower, touchable parts several times a day and often give it a power wash at night. Twice a year, the city bathes it in 40 gallons of Tide for a deep cleaning.
A Chicago landmark affectionately known as "The Bean" has been named among the best in the country.
