When I was in Chicago....

The home of public art~Windy City



Dear Laura, I saw your work...in the subway station.

I felt a little embarrassed because I will say something about Chicago in front of America people. If I say anything wrong, please correct and tell me. Thank you~


First, Chicago spent lot of money on collecting and inviting artists to create various public art works. Among them, Millennium Park attracts everyone's attention. If you want to know more...check this: http://www.millenniumpark.org/artandarchitecture/



Cloud Gate on the AT&T Plaza..but most people call it: Big Jelly Bean~ do you find me?

Wrigley Square and Millennium Monument

Besides, there are a bunch of master piece in this city. Ha, I admited I was a tourist, so I took a lot of pictures. However, it is really exciting to witness all master works in person, because I known them only from text books before.
