The Museum's signature wings, the Burke Brise Soleil, form a sun screen that can be raised and lowered creating a unique moving sculpture. The brise soleil spreads 217 feet at its widest point (wider than a Boeing 747-400 airplane!), and weighs 90 tons. | Milwaukee Art Museum

Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by Santiago Calatrava, was constructed by using concrete slabs incorporated into timber frames, which was a revolutionary technique in architecture.
