Things to do after the show
Downtown Milwaukee has recently undergone a lively revitalization. If you have not visited recently, you might be surprised to find much to enjoy. Most are within walking distance of the show. Here are a few suggestions:
RiverWalk, adjacent to the Milwaukee River boasts more than a dozen blocks of cobblestone paving that connects restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions into one lovely pedestrian stroll.
Historic Third Ward, Milwaukee’s oldest center of commerce, comprised of 70 buildings in 10 square blocks, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Grand old buildings have been revamped into the city’s hub of entertainment, arts, and high-end shopping.
The 20-plus vendors at the Milwaukee Public Market attract customers with their locally produced and farmed foods.
Exhibits at the Eisner American Museum of Advertising and Design explain how ad campaigns and design have had an impact on society.
With its elegant swooping white wings, the Santiago Calatrava designed addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum on the Lake Michigan waterfront has garnered worldwide attention. “Architourists” find that there’s some pretty neat stuff in the museum, too including works by Georgia O’Keeffe, Winslow Homer, and Pablo Picasso.
Discovery World, a 120,000 square foot science and technology museum that just opened up on the waterfront earlier this year houses some 200 interactive exhibitors.
Harley-Davidson Museum also recently opened in nearby Menomonee Valley, the city’s former industrial backbone.
