Things To Do
Visit the Milwaukee Art Museum on the Water
Be sure to check out the Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by the same architect who created the iconic Sydney Opera House, offering stunning architecture and breathtaking views along the lakefront. Located right on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Art Museum is not only home to an incredible collection of art but also boasts stunning architecture, including the iconic Quadracci Pavilion designed by Santiago Calatrava. The museum’s wing-like architecture opens and closes throughout the day, making it a breathtaking sight. It's the perfect place to explore, take in some culture, and enjoy the lakefront views. Jordan and Chelsea often bike here, bring a book, and enjoy the views while sipping artisanal coffee at the café on the ground floor.
