I could kick myself for not stopping by. We passed it by just last month on our visit but was too interested in the wedding photography taking place in front. We were in the car, and my daughter wanted to stop and visit but had no takers among our non-artsy hosts. We walked around the pier at the back though. Tough..that was a true miss. Thanks for enlightening us though.

From what I have read about the Burke Brise Soleil, it has sensors on its fins that automatically close it when winds exceed 23mph. And the whole thing works to provide shade during hot summer months and to let some of the sun&#39;s radiance heat the place in winter. Fabulous!</i><br /><br /><b>Anita</b><i>, the walls are bare because the museum is really below this structure. The basement like area is musty and moldy! Perhaps the exhibits are there so that the light does not affect them? We couldn&#39;t wait to walk out of there! <br /><br />There are some sculptures set along the corridors of the QP but that is it. It is intended for temporary exhibits. There is a meeting/reception hall, an auditorium, a small restaurant, museum store, and an equally amazing garage. So not much on these walls - which are mainly glass anyway.</i><br /><br /><b>Deepika</b><i>, I need to update that post. I misread the label as it was not complete. <a href="http://www.indianfoodrocks.com/2009/10/say-what.html?showComment=1256535514366#c6581670009344191003" rel="nofollow">See here</a>.</i><br /><br /><b>Vicki</b><i>, the Quadracci Pavilion was completed only in 2001. I first found out when I got a brochure about Wisconsin with gorgeous night-time pics. You can always see it the next time you visit. I would love to go back - with a better camera!</i>Manishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-75785728877081626762009-10-27T18:05:09.863-06:002009-10-27T18:05:09.863-06:00Wow, I spent 22 years in Chicagoland, and never new about the Milwaukee Museum. I feel a little sad now.Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16258422495964985299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-57938909730959930662009-10-27T11:49:13.969-06:002009-10-27T11:49:13.969-06:00Thanks for sharing this, Manisha. I never knew such a building existed. It&#39;s now on my need-to-visit list.<br /><br />By the way, you&#39;re mistaken about the Fat 9 written on the label. That was just general information about metabolism. What they meant to say was that in general, and not specific to this product, 1 gram of fat gives 9 calories, 1 gram of carbohydrate gives 4 calories and same with the protein. <br /><br />But as for the rest of the things -- adding sugar and then denying it, absence of vitamins, etc -- that&#39;s quite weird, as you mentioned.Deepikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10687853014757955157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-13253327370520670902009-10-27T10:45:34.763-06:002009-10-27T10:45:34.763-06:00The problem with a building like that is it gets more eyeballs than the treasures it is designed to house! But if you get Calatrava to do it, it is a foregone conclusion! I have seen a lot of pictures of this building from the inside with...bare walls! :)Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-36532142657889921612009-10-27T06:56:17.667-06:002009-10-27T06:56:17.667-06:00Wow! I had no idea this building existed. Thank you for sharing. What a work of beauty. I would love to see it one day.<br /><br />It reminds me (in mechanics only) of the Tulip in Buenos Aires. When I lived there I was taken by the metal flower&#39;s ability to open at daybreak and close at sundown. When I got close enough to it I saw the photovoltaic &quot;staymen&quot; in the center that &quot;read&quot; the light and it amazed me that an artist created such a great piece of &quot;living&quot; sculpture.<br /><br />People are amazing.Franhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614285110579449142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-83888730172494538872009-10-27T03:40:05.428-06:002009-10-27T03:40:05.428-06:00Wow!! thanks for that education - never knew of such a piece of art. how apt that it will house treasures inside.
