The Millennium Park Summer Music Series offers free concerts at this amphitheater on Monday and Thursday evenings. Jay Pritzker Pavilion's "headdress" of steel ribbons frame the stage and the state-of-the-art sound system distributes sound equally over the seats and lawn. There are plenty of other reasons to visit Millennium Park: You can see a concert at the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion, stroll through the Lurie Garden or the Boeing Galleries (where contemporary sculpture is displayed outdoors), or sign up for a bicycle tour or bike rental at the HUB312 - McDonald's Cycle Center. A quintessential Chicago souvenir is a photo of your reflection in The Bean. The Bean's elliptical shape reflects the Chicago skyline. Cloud Gate – created by British-Indian artist Anish Kapoor – is a 110-ton bean-shaped sculpture forged from stainless steel. The water flows mid-spring through mid-fall, while the faces are projected year-round. The towers' LED screens project the faces of 1,000 different Chicago residents, which are perfectly aligned with spouts so that it appears they are spitting water on passersby. Most visitors come to Millennium Park to see the Crown Fountain and Cloud Gate, better known as "The Bean." Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain features two 50-foot towers that face each other at opposite ends of a shallow reflecting pool. Situated in the Loop just north of the Art Institute of Chicago, this 25-acre space is used to showcase cutting-edge art, architecture and landscaping it also acts as a backdrop for concerts and festivals. A first-time visit to Chicago isn't complete without a stop at Millennium Park.
