It a cool public piece of art. If I remember correctly, it's smack dab in the middle of the "business district" (Chicago doesn't really have a business district per say, but it's late and my brain is tired =) Anyhow, it's a cool thing to catch if you happen to be passing thru, but I would say if you're looking for art while in Chicago, in addition, be sure to also check out the Art Institute.

It's really cool to stand underneath this thing, it creates a crazy swirl of people and cool to take apicture and try and find yourself in it. I only gave it a three though because there tends to be a lot of people there and not much else involved with it except it being cool to look into and see how it distorts the world it reflects back. I def would recommend a visit though.

Great Attraction place - Unreal Views - Reflections, like a completely different diminution. I would recommend visit it early in the morning when not some many people there and watch the city, skyscrapers wake up with sunrise, how colors a changing. It is good in any kind of weather.
The only thing - I wish they would clean it more often.

It is sooooo cool. A giant mirrored kidney bean in Millennium Park. People gather round it all year through. The view of the city and park reflected in it are extraordinary. Also street performers are frequent and their is an ice rike near by. Way cool.

Okay I honestly dont know why its so popular - but its a fun place to be. Millenium Park itself is a great place to hang out and there is always something going on. So ya, if you are in Chicago you should check it out
