Yes, It's one of the new sculptures in Millenium Park. The visual impact is stunning in contrast to the right angles in the buildings.

Cool. What is that. I didn't see it. Is it in Millennium Park? I only had four or five hours of free time, so I did about two hours on North Michigan Avenue and another two hours in Andersonville.

Re: PESO: Chicago Walkaround
Hi Ann, I remember being able to go into the tower as well. But that was then, and this is now. Today, it's part of the North Michigan Avenue neighborhood, which is a neighborhood of skyscrapers, big hotels, and big money. I'm pleased that the Water Tower is still there, and I can't shed too many tears for what used to be. Chicago is so much more than it was forty or fifty years ago, and that's a good thing. Some of the old has been preserved. The rest has perished. But I'm thankful for what remains, and I enjoy photographing it in its new environment.
