The Bean

We Chicagoans call it the The Bean, its actual title is Cloud Gate, a wondrous polished reflective sculpture by Anish Kapoor.
Everytime I walk through Millennium Park I can't avoid taking pictures of it.
I should add here that I've been privileged to have been able to travel to a number of cities across Europe, and in my honest unbiased opinion Millennium Park is one of the greatest public spaces that I have ever experienced.

Nefertiti in Chicago

Went to visit the old girl in Berlin at the Neues Museum last April, but alas alack photos were not allowed. However, here she is in Chicago at the Oriental Institute (a copy).
