The South Garden was designed by renowned landscape architect Dan Kiley, who is celebrated for his modernist approach to integrating nature and architecture.

The garden features a striking sculpture by artist Henri Etienne-Martin, adding an artistic touch to the serene environment.

It is located adjacent to the Art Institute of Chicago, complementing the museum's modern wing designed by architect Renzo Piano.

The South Garden features a grid of honey locust trees and a central reflecting pool, creating a tranquil urban oasis.

Despite its downtown location, the garden offers a quiet escape with its lush greenery and soothing water features.
