I recently visited Milwaukee (home) for the first time in 4 years. Two of the more remarkable things I saw were the Rembrandt Exhibition - housed by - Santiago Calatrava’s Burke Brise Soleil, the new addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. Well, new since the last time I’d been there.

Entering the exhibit was a little like stepping off the bridge of the Starship Enterprise and into 1640’s Netherlands. A wild juxtaposition of innovation, and anachronism. Two masters intertwined, yet separated by over three and a half centuries. While the Rembrandt Exhibition has since ended, I’d highly recommend visiting the museum if only to see the new wing.

This exhibit in April looks pretty terrific too: Masters of American Comics.
