Millennium & Grant parks
-
The modern Millennium Park (see Millennium & Grant parks) is Chicago's superb new adaptation of its “front yard”. The park is home to a dynamic Frank Gehry-designed music pavilion and pedestrian bridge, and a vast sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor. It also boasts lush gardens, restaurants, a winter ice rink, peristyle, and an interactive fountain by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. The adjoining Grant Park (see Millennium & Grant parks) hosts many summer festivals including the Taste of Chicago (see Festivals & Events). It is also home to Museum Campus (see South Loop), the Art Institute of Chicago (see The Art Institute of Chicago), and the ornate 1927 Buckingham Fountain.
