There’s a dining spot in downtown Milwaukee that elevates lunch to a work of art. The Museum Cafe is located in arguably one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful spaces – the Milwaukee Art Museum. It’s a gorgeous space, and it’s also a place to enjoy a lunch in an atmosphere that you won’t forget. Here’s what you need to know about the Milwaukee Art Museum Cafe.

Milwaukee Art Museum is a renowned art museum located on the city’s waterfront. It was founded in 1888, and it’s one of the largest art museums in the United States.

It’s a remarkable facility that’s evolved over the years into one of the city’s most-recognized landmarks. Today, visitors are greeted by incredible spaces that were designed by Spanish Architect Santiago Calatrava. He was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, and his building’s form suggests a large ship.

There are 25,000 pieces of art to explore in this beautiful museum. They are spread across four floors and include works from antiquity to the present. You might work up a little hunger taking in all of this beauty. When this happens, head straight to the Museum Cafe.
