This photo was taken in the museum campus, which lies in the Southeast corner of Grant Park. The museum campus was created to transform the vicinity of the museums (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium) into a pedestrian-friendly park with jogging paths and biking trails.
This area is a great place to view the city skyline, relax and take in the beauty of the scenery and capture some amazing photos. This one in particular was taken while walking between the Field Musuem and the Shedd Aquarium.

what is the exact direction to this area?
Hi Jay – I took the photo right outside of the Shedd Aquarium. You should be able to Google it and get directions but I’ve provided a couple links below that might help. Enjoy!
