A Park For The 21st Century
Chicago's new Millennium Park contains a "generosity of spirit" that charms visitors and inspires faith in the future of cities.
Covering 25 acres on Lake Michigan just north of the Art Institute, Millennium Park transforms an ugly railyard into a remarkable extension of the city, offering visitors distinctive sculpture, fountains, architecture, and gardens. With its emphasis on bold, metallic modernism, Whitney Gould calls the park a "worthy successor to the 1893 Columbian Exposition."
