Chicago Public Parks Art from Chicago Traveler
Chicago Fountains, Monuments & Sculptures
Chicago's parks are the settings for a world-class collection of nearly 200 fountains, monuments, and sculptures. These range from historic sculptures of famous people including Abraham Lincoln, Alexander von Humboldt, and William Shakespeare to some of the nation's most exciting new works of art such as Agora in Grant Park and Millennium Park's Cloud Gate, dubbed "The Bean." Some of the lesser known artworks are like hidden treasures in the parks.
