Boeing granted the city of Chicago $5,000,000 to create an outdoor sculpture park in the city's new Millennium Park. The sculpture garden, called Boeing Galleries, is divided into two sections. It is located on the Park's south and north mid-level terraces, above Wrigley Square and the Crown Fountain respectively.
The galleries will rotate the display, changing annually or bi-annually. This waymark will be a great spot for visitors to upload pictures of the current exhibits.
When we visited the park was featuring sculpture by the artist Mark di Suvero. Some of the pieces on display were Orion, Johnny Appleseed, and Yoga. His work is the first to be exhibited in the new gallery. The show will run April 17, 2007—April 1, 2008.
