Cloud Gate

The Bean measures an impressive 33x66x42 feet and weighs 110 tons, perfectly reflecting the city’s stunning skyline. Visitors are drawn to its 12-foot high arch and the fascinating concave “omphalos” beneath it. Kapoor’s design, inspired by liquid mercury, blends artistic themes and captivates tourists with its unique reflective allure.

Despite the construction challenges, Cloud Gate was unveiled in 2004 and formally dedicated on May 15, 2006. Since then, it has become a global attraction, drawing millions of visitors eager to snap a selfie with this extraordinary piece of art.
