In the context of Mega-Gem, explain the Location history of the Historical information.
In 1989 Mega-Gem was presented at the Chicago International Art Exposition where it was displayed on Navy Pier along Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, until 1994.
In October 1994 Mega-Gem was loaned to the Indianapolis Museum of Art for two years. It arrived on October 10, 1994, and was put on display in the southwest corner of Krannert Plaza, which is a section of the IMA's grounds and gardens located on the west side of the property overlooking the White River. In 1997, after the loan period had expired, the Contemporary Art Society raised funds for Mega-Gem to be acquired by the IMA. It remained on view in Krannert Plaza until 2001, when it was relocated to the southeast corner of the IMA property near the intersection of 38th Street and Michigan Road.In late January 2009 Mega-Gem was relocated to the IUPUI campus to make way for the creation of the IMA's Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park, which opened in June 2010. Mega-Gem was one of four IMA sculptures that were loaned to IUPUI. The others were East Gate/West Gate by Sasson Soffer, Portrait of History by Shan Zou Zhou, and Spaces with Iron by Will Horwitt. These four IMA pieces on the IUPUI campus are part of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, which "connects neighborhoods, entertainment facilities and the city's five cultural districts" and includes Indiana Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, Fountain Square, Indianapolis, the Wholesale District, Indianapolis, and White River State Park. The Cultural Trail, completed in 2013 as a bike and pedestrian path, will connect Broad Ripple Village, Indianapolis to downtown Indianapolis via the Monon Trail.Mega-Gem is situated in the courtyard north of New York Street on the IUPUI campus, east of Lecture Hall and south of Joseph T. Taylor Hall (formerly University College), at 815 W. Michigan Street.
