MILWAUKEE, WI — There are museums whose architectural structures and materials are as impressive as their paintings and sculptures. The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM), located in downtown Milwaukee on the Lake Michigan shore, is one of these.
Milwaukee’s “masterpiece on the lakefront” not only offers visitors an impressive collection of nearly 20,000 works from antiquity to the present, but it’s currently in the finishing stages of an ambitious five-year, 140,000-square-foot expansion and renovation project, attempting to break the boundaries between the fields of art and architecture.
