This is "the Bean", formally known as Cloud Gate, a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, located in Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois. It is built of 168 stainless steel plates welded together and polished with no visible seams. It looks like a big blob of liquid mercury, and it is a lot of fun to walk around and under, viewing all the odd reflections of yourself and the city of people around you.
I could easily spend an hour just looking at it.
