This is the bean. People made fun of it when it was being constructed and complained about all their tax dollars going toward some stupid sculpture. (Granted, it ended up costing around 23 million of those hard earned dollars.)
But then everyone realized that it is the coolest thing ever.
Here’s what it looks like from inside:
Walk from the bean, and find yourself with a bottle of wine at one of Millennium Park’s free concerts with full orchestra. Here are two things I like: cellos and skylines.
I love Anish Kapoor’s work. I wish we had public sculpture as cool as ‘the bean’ here in Philly. There’s public sculpture here, but we could definitely use something a bit more contemporary in the center city area. On the other hand, we have a gazillion murals all over the city, so I suppose that’s something…
