The last weekend in April we went to Karen’s sister Sue’s house in Racine, Wisconsin. Her other sister Diane and Dan and Linda also came and on Saturday we drove up to Milwaukee to visit the Art Museum.<\/p>\n

\"Milwaukee<\/p>\n

The actual museum proper is housed in an older building but a few years ago they built this stunning addition that houses the gift shop, admissions lobby, and some meeting rooms I think. The tall part in the middle is mechanized and the roof can be made to open just like gull wings. They are closed in this view.<\/p>\n

When we got there we hadn’t had lunch yet, so we had a bite to eat before we got down to the serious art viewing.<\/p>\n

I didn’t think to jot down titles and artist’s names so I can’t tell you much about the other two. The right hand one was in the folk art section.<\/p>\n
