Critique Welcomed A Blue Hour Moment at The Milwaukee Art Museum

[Brian Moore]

The Milwaukee Art Museum is a wonderful building. (The art within ain't too bad either!) I visited in February of this year. The wing-like structure is called a "brise soliel." It retracts in the evenings or when the wind get up too high.

Looks like it's going to take off. Interesting place.

Thanks, Roshni.

It is indeed, Rob. I had driven up to Milwaukee from Chicago for a business meeting and while in my car listening to a local Milwaukee radio station I heard a brief report about a current photographic exhibit. I was unfamiliar with the museum but the photo exhibit sounded good so I resolved to go if time permitted. Got out of my meeting at about 3pm and made my way to the museum. It was a Thursday and, as luck would have it, that is the one day of the week the museum is open late--until 8pm. Spent a very pleasant 4 or 5 hours here. I plan on going back if I get the chance.

That does look interesting. Has a nautical look to me, like some kind of sail or the wing of a manta ray. The deep blue sky and silver/gold tones in the building make a great image.

Thanks Dave. Much appreciated.

What an amazing building (and a fine shot of it). What was the exhibition on?
