Milwaukee Art Museum Visit

Endless halls everywhere on campus.......




Concordia's 1950s high schoolish architecture

Well, I set out this morning for the Milwaukee art museum. An incredible building and their collection is pretty good. This weekend is the Lakefront Festival of Arts which was in huge tents on the lawn of the art museum. Sort of like Art in the Pearl, but vendors from all over the country. So really beautiful art and I was amazed with the number of printmakers. It was really enjoyable except it was warmer than I expected and I had long pants on. After a couple of hours I headed back. (I was going to post a photo of the museum, but just discovered I took a video instead of a photo! It wouldn't upload.)

I drove down via the Lake shore road. There is about 5 miles of one stately mansion after another. It was really a beautiful drive along the shore of Lake Michigan.

Yes, the photos I posted yesterday were of the lake and beach area on campus. That is the beautiful part. But you can't really see it from any of the buildings on campus because they are all 1 or 2 stories and weren't built with views of the lake. Amazing I know. Today I thought I'd share some of the boring architecture of the campus and a few of the 100's of hall ways that one can not avoid to get from one end of campus to the other. Apparently it is a good idea to build the buildings attached to one another so no one ever has to go outside in the winter. But, during the summer it is so frustrating to be walking inside these ugly corridors.
