Let's go back to Milwaukee! Virtually, not for real.
The striking Milwaukee Art Museum sits on the shore of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee. The "wings" on the central building opens and closes twice a day. The architect is Santiago Calatrava, who has also designed a bird-like transportation hub for the World Trade Center site. Because of delays, and the complexities of construction Calatrava's original design has been altered several times and faces future changes.
i think one has to admit - it's pretty striking. even in photos.

Yeah, it's pretty stunning to see in person. Wish I had gotten to see the wings open.

Reminds me of a bug sitting on a leaf.

Looks like it was inspired by an old style French Nun's habit. Could it be the designer obsessed with Sally Fields? lol
