Grant Park (including Millennium Park) contains 42 pieces of art hiding in plain site throughout the park from DuSable Harbor south to Northerly Island (not technically Grant Park).
The Chicago Park District has updated their site (yeah!) and there is a map feature. Just type in the name of the statue and a map will come up.
You can follow the links below for a picture and a description and the history of each piece, courtesy of the Chicago Park District. Get out and get some exercise and enjoy our free public art collection!
