Meet the most incredible piece of public art I've ever had the pleasure of admiring. While its proper name is Cloud Gate, it's more often affectionately known as the silver bean. It's everything a piece of public sculpture should be - beautiful, thought-provoking, interesting, memorable.

It sits in the middle of Millennium Park, Chicago, and it's constantly surrounded by mesmerised people. Weighing roughly one hundred tons, I think it is worth every penny of the twenty-three million dollars it cost to create. Amazing, right? It's no green cactus-thingy though...
