Finally visited the Milwaukee Art Museum and its signature addition by Santiago Calatrava earlier today.


The bird-like brise-soleil is especially impressive from the approach via the Calatrava-designed footbridge.


In the space below the brise-soleil, their presence is diminished by the deep mullions of the glass walls.


The long wait in line for admission is lightened by site-specific artwork in the West Galleria, in this case a work of words by Liam Gillick.


One of my favorite's in the Museum's permanent collection is Modernity circa 1952, Mirrored and Reflected Infinitely, 2004 by Josiah McElheny.
