By Anish Kapoor (same artist that made the famous Cloud Gate, aka "the bean" in Chicago) -- located on the MFAH grounds and right by the statue garden. Go get inspired!

Houston has its own spin-off of the Chicago Bean: The Cloud Column! I absolutely love how it reflects the clouds in the sky, hence its name. Located at the Museum of Fine Art Houston, this is just located on the Glassell School of Art’s grounds, so no tickets are needed to see this cool sculpture.

Cloud Column is a monumental stainless steel sculpture by Anish Kapoor, installed outside Glassell School of Art in Houston, Texas, in 2018. The sculpture was created in 2006 (Wikipedia). It’s 30 feet tall and weighs 21,000 lbs. It was created by the same artist, as the one in Chicago, but it does differ from Cloud Gate in one kinda major way: The stainless-steel surface has been hand-worked, so it’s not as smooth as Chicago’s. It’s humanly imperfect, which I think is pretty beautiful. Cloud Column has two very different sides. The Bissonnet-facing side is beveled outward, while the other side is concave. When you look at that side, your reflection from down at the bottom is flipped upside down at the tippy top of the structure. Similarly, the clouds are down at the bottom by you. It’s pretty gorgeous.
