Urban park opened in 2004 over former railway tracks, in the Loop and beside Michigan Avenue. It brings together Cloud Gate, Anish Kapoor's polished-steel sculpture opened in 2006 and known as The Bean, which reflects the city's skyline; Jaume Plensa's Crown Fountain, with two glass towers that project faces; and the Pritzker Pavilion, designed by Frank Gehry.
