Greetings to everyone!!
As our summer visit with friends and family dwindles down to this weekend, John and I spontaneously decided a long overdue visit to the world famous Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by the world renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
It is truly a world class collection housed in a beautiful structure on the shores of Lake Michigan. The collection dated back to 1888 with over 30,000 works of art.
Here is a small selection of our favorites.

We’ll go back. We only saw about a third of the museum. There is also a great gift shop and two cafes. It sounds like another outing!
Love to all!
