The Art Museum, designed by Santiago Calatrava in l994.....Beyond wonderful.
Fantastic....A big white sailing bird on the shores of Lake Michigan.
The roof has flaps that open and close at noon.
crossing over the bridge to the museum..Lake Michigan is in the back.
The “Seventh Ward”...upscale, trendy, fun..A former factory area on the Milwaukee River
turned into Lofts, shopping and great restaurants.
The old and the new emerge into one.
A glorious turn of the century (20th that is) building....
Spectacular...
Wonderful old buildings....

Fabulous Food Hall and restaurants housed in
an old building.
The Electric Company door detail.
River front walkway... Factory turned into Lofts...
Location, location, location....
Glorious old churches....
Light fixture detail...
Bronze doorway detail...a mini tile mosaic
..thankfully many old buildings were not torn down.
I took loads of pictures that day. Milwaukee is a beautiful, fun city with lots to do
and full of old world beauty, charm and grace. This, mixed in with a lively, modern, urban
side, makes it a fun place to visit .
An enclosed walkway for those blustery winter days.
Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to use that...
What would Milwaukee be without the beer that made it famous...
A funky entrance....
Beautiful old buildings at every corner....
