Agora is an installation of 106 headless and armless iron sculptures at the south end of Grant Park in Chicago. Designed by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, they were made in a foundry near Poznań between 2004 and 2006.[1] In 2006, the Chicago Park District brought the work to Chicago as a permanent loan from the Polish Ministry of Culture.[2] Similar installations have been constructed throughout the world, but Agora is among the largest.[3]
