Crown Fountain
An interactive public art installation designed by Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain features two 50-foot glass towers that digitally project the faces of over 1,000 Chicago residents. Water cascades down the towers and periodically spouts from the mouths of the displayed faces, delighting visitors on a hot day. It's a playful spot for families and curious travelers alike.
