The Milwaukee Art Museum |
|
| Milwaukee's most visually prominent cultural attraction
is the Milwaukee Art Museum, and especially its new $100 million
wing designed by Santiago Calatrava in his first American commission.
The museum includes a "brise soleil," a moving sunscreen
that quite literally unfolds like the wing of a bird. The Milwaukee
Public Museum and Milwaukee County Zoo are also notable public
attractions. |
| Milwaukee is home to the Florentine Opera, the
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Milwaukee Ballet, Milwaukee
Repertory Theatre, Skylight Opera Theatre, and a number of other
arts organizations. |
| Milwaukee has advertised itself as the "City
of Festivals," especially emphasizing an annual fair along
the lakefront called Summerfest. Listed in the Guinness Book
of World Records as the largest music festival in the world,
Summerfest attracts around 900,000 visitors a year to its twelve
stages. Smaller festivals througout the year celebrate the city's
German, Native American, African-American, Italian, Irish, Asian,
French and Polish heritage. |
