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.

Jon Suminski

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.

Davidaw Chatman

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!

Aaron Cruz

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.

William Studart

Nice sculpture , nice to sit and waste some time

Kirstjen Lorenz

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

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

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

We've been here 4.5 hours and barely scratched the surface. An absolutely excellent museum - probably the best I've been to. Only the Newseum in DC comes close. Don't miss this if you are in Chicago - Kristopher Weiss
