An interesting installation at the southwest corner of the park. You can reach it easily from the Green Line on the way to Museum Campus.

An interesting display of art. Kids loved it for hide and seek. Great place to take unique pictures. Walking distance from downtown and near the museum district.

Designed by Magdalena Abankanowicz, She stated that the statues show "brainless organisms acting on command, worshiping on command and hating on command". You can make your own interpretation!

Headless sculptures that sit within Grant Park along Michigan Avenue. Great place to people watch. All 106 of them are hand carved and you will take a liking to them the more you hang around.

Mind all the chicken bones strewn about the premises - ESPECIALLY if you have dogs. The homeless can be such sloppy eaters...

The name "Agora" refers to the urban meeting places of the Ancient Greek city-states.

A gift from Poland to the City of Chicago by Magdalena Abakanowicz - 106 cast iron figures, each 9 ft tall.
