Finishing by the Art Institute, we crossed Monroe Street to get to Millennium Park.
First up is Millennium Park's "Crown Fountain"
It projects faces of Chicagoans on two opposing mini-skyscrapers with water cascading down the sides.
Crown Fountain was designed by Jaume Pensa.
Careful, sometimes the faces will spit at you!
Chicago has a rich history of architecture wherever you look
Three sculptures by Yvonne Domenge
"Coral"
"Tabachin Ribbon"
And "Wind Waves"
