This is one of my favorite public sculptures. It is just so unusual and different than anything else. And it attracts people because it also has an unusual visual and fun aspect.

People are very curious about it and enjoy walking around and under it to see what things look like. Having the Chicago skyline right there adds another aspect that is just fun - to see how the skyline through the reflections of the bean.

And right across the street from this public area is The Art Institute of Chicago. And they have a nice collection of weapons and armor.
