Milwaukee Art Museum, WI   July 18, 2012  

It's funny how you hear of all these cities during your lifetime then once you visit them, they are truly real to you.  Milwaukee is one of them.  Even as a kid I remember beer commercials about Milwaukee.  We went there mainly for the Art Museum.  The building is spectacular!!!   It has huge wings that stretch out mimicing a bird in flight, possibly a swan.  There are certain times, the roof retracts like a butterfly.







The inside of the gallery was just as beautiful.  It reminded me of movie "2001 Space Odessy".  The special exhibit showing was sort of history of  French Posters and how their popularity grew.






The grounds and lake outside the Art Museum was just as lovely.  The city shows great pride.
