A Sunny Day at the Milwaukee Art Museum

Finally! A sunny day in Milwaukee! There was a reason we moved away from the Midwest. The very long winters and living along Lake Michigan were primary reasons to leave. It was always ten degrees cooler by the lake, but I honestly don’t remember this much rain and cloudy skies. And so finally - on the day we were going to have a personal tour of the art museum - there was a sun in the sky. One of our past colleagues and friends has been a docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum for a very long time. Yesterday we joined up and got a personal tour of the Calatrava building itself, as well as the art collection within. It’s been a while since our last visit there. The architecture is really amazing and the story behind it was intriguing. The clean lines are felt all the way to the parking garage and the views of Lake Michigan are magnificent. When the weather is decent, the movable “wings” of the building are extended. After the tour we had lunch in the fine dining restaurant. It was a lovely time - the sun and our friends.
