Actually, the real name of this huge metalic "bean" is the Cloud Gate. But this sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its legume-like shape.
According to Wikipedia,it's made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams.
It is 10 m × 20 m × 13 m, and weights 99.8 tons : big baby!!!
I found an interesting picture of the "bean" before its welds were polished...
... because now, it's almost impossible to see the slightest flaw!
