Museum of Modern Ice Chicago February 1 - 29, 2008
This February, experience Chicago's new winter celebration in Millennium Park. The free, month-long outdoor festival features the U.S. debut of Canadian artist Gordon Halloran's work, Paintings Below Zero, along with special events happening each weekend in the Park.
Located behind Cloud Gate is Halloran's largest and most spectacular installation to date, a monumental and colorful ice wall measuring 95 feet long and nearly 12 feet tall. Halloran is also embedding an ice painting in the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink, allowing visitors to skate on the multicolored surface. The Ice Rink is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
Concerts, tours and family activities are happening each weekend in the American Express Heated Tent adjacent to the ice wall and in the Chicago Cultural Center's Hot Spot. For more information on all of the programs and activities, see the Events Calendar
