THE KELPIES ARRIVE SAFE AND SOUND IN CHICAGO

Scale models of The Kelpies are now on show in the Windy City as part of the 2012 Chicago Sculpture International Outdoor Exhibition.

Andy Scott's creations have just gone on display in Grant Park, a major greenspace located in Chicago's central business district. The park contains performance venues, gardens, art work, sporting and harbor facilities. It hosts public gatherings and several large annual events.

Our banner pic above shows The Kelpies against a backdrop of Chicago's imposing skyline, dominated by the Willis Tower.

The pic below, taken from a different angle, shows the Field Museum of Natural History in the background.
