Cloud Gate Fun Fact: Cloud Gate, also known as “The Bean”, was inspired by liquid mercury! Created by artist Anish Kapoor, the sculpture’s mirrored surface captures and distorts Chicago’s skyline and the surrounding scenery, making it a favorite spot for unique reflections and photos. It’s made from 168 stainless steel plates seamlessly welded together, which gives it that smooth, otherworldly look.
