Overview

Agora is an art installation of 106 headless and armless iron sculptures. Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz designed the installation, which is located at the south end of Grant Park. In 2006, the Chicago Park District brought the work to Chicago as a permanent loan from the Polish Ministry of Culture. While similar installations have been constructed worldwide, Agora is among the largest.
