MAM -- Exterior


Literature regarding the Milwaukee Art Museum refers to it as an architectural landmark.  Take a look at these images and you'll know why.  This particular section was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2001.  Included in this remarkable structure is a movable sunscreen with a 217-foot wingspan that unfolds and folds twice each day.  In addition, as seen in the photo below, there is the Reiman Bridge that serves as a pedestrian link connecting the city and museum.  Officially this portion of the museum is known as the Quadracci Pavilion.  From the inside and out, it's impressive and captivating.

Be sure to see my next post as I'll feature some amazing interior views from this complex construction.
