milwaukee






July 17th ... the big surprise of the trip: Milwaukee ... today we spent most of the day at the Milwaukee Art Museum ... it blew us away: there are over 1400 works on view and it is housed in a breathtaking building by Santiago Calatrava which has been hailed by many critics as one of the five most important buildings of the 21st Century ... it has one of the best collections of German Expressionism in the world ... the wings of the building open and close at noon ... just stunning to see with Lake Michigan as the backdrop ... before leaving us for San Francisco Mike Larsen visited the country fair in Madison and captured a lovely sunset.
