My husband and I went to Milwaukee this weekend to visit family and got to see some of the attractions.

Here is the Milwaukee Art Museum situated right on Lake Michigan. It's a beautiful site and now a symbol for Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava
"The structure contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil which opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The brise soleil has since become a symbol for the city of Milwaukee.
