"Milwaukee Art Museum, Part II" Top 5 Page for this destination Wisconsin Things to Do Tip by deecat

If you think the outside of the Quadracci Pavilion is dramatic, wait until you walk inside what Time Magazine named as the"Best Design of 2001". It features the glass-walled Windhover Hall that is enclosed by the Burke Brise Soleil ("a sunscreen that can be raised or lowered creating an unique moving sculpture.")

There is a Pedestrian Bridge and a wonderful Bridge Lobby.

Keep in mind, all of this is in brilliant WHITE. White is everywhere! There is also a long reception hall, a South Terrace, and a West and East Galleria. In addition, there are Special Exhibiton Galleries, an Auditorium, and a fantastic Museum Store (a store that is really worth visiting!)

On the lower level, there is a Restaurant, a Rotunda, Public Lockers, Coat Check, and a Meeting Room.

The Original Section of the Museum contains:

Minimalism Art
New Realism Art
Pop Art
Abstract Expressionism
Antiquities
18th-Century English and Italian Art
European Modern Art
German Expressionist Prints
Photography Gallery
20th Century Design

The above list is ONLY PARTIAL!
It's certainly an impressive collection and one worth visiting.
