Some of my favorite things about Chicago:
Playing at The Bean. I guess it's real name is "Cloud Gate" created by the artist Anish Kapoor. It cost $23 million to construct and weighs 110 tons.
This is Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The whole thing is made up of tiny painted dots - a style called Pointillism. Considering it's about 10 feet long and 7 feet tall, it must have been a very tedious and time consuming painting to create.
Frank Gehry also designed the EMP (Experience Music Project) in Seattle and the Guggenheim in Bilbao Spain.
If you've never been to Chicago, I suggest you make it top priority. There's so much to see, do, eat and buy. I was only there for three days and would love to go back and do it all again.
