Millennium Park - The Bean Great place to visit, very close of Museum of Art. Has spraying faces and artwork you can crawl into, that does things like change color when you stand on it. Free lectures on Wednesdays -- usually people talking about a part of the park or its structures. It had a strange Chinese art exhibit on the one side and a botanical park, where we saw rabbits in the city. And the huge bean, which you can take photos of under it for an amazing view.
