The gleaming bean-shaped sculpture has been a fan favorite and a must-take selfie opportunity since 2006.
Access to the famous Millennium Park Bean in Chicago, formally known as Cloud Gate, is restricted for renovations to the area.
The plaza where The Bean is located is being improved to"enhance the visitor experience and improve the area's accessibility," according to Choose Chicago.Millennium Park turning 20 wanted an international-class park The competition for the sculptural centerpiece, now occupied by the Bean, came down to designs by Anish Kapoor and Jeff Koontz.
Once fully assembled, the 12-foot-high central arch provided a"gate" under the sculpture, prompting Kapoor to name the piece Cloud Gate formally. There is still plenty to experience at the Park, including the Pritzker Pavilion, the outdoor concert venue in Millennium Park designed by Frank Gehry. The Gehry-designed BP Bridge connects the Pavilion to Maggie Daley Park. It is 925 feet long, more than ten times the width of Columbus Drive, the street it spans.
