Designed by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain features two 50-foot high glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers are activated with changing video images and lights, and water cascades from the top of each. Anchoring the southwest corner of Millennium Park at Michigan Avenue and Monroe Streets, the Crown Fountain is a major addition to the city’s world-renowned public art collection.

Inspired by the people of Chicago, the sculpture features citizens faces, which appear on the glass towers’ changing video images. Utilizing water, light, and glass, Plensa has created an amazing piece to welcome visitors to Millenium Park.
