milwaukee art museum





I didn't know what to expect, and, I'll admit, I mostly went for the unique architecture. But when I got there I was very impressed with an exhibit called Sensory Overload. Blinking televisions stacked haphazardly on top of one another, a vibrating water box, crackling campfires and a dark room filled with blue strings of LED lights that makes you feel like you are in a movie. And last but not least, the infinity chamber; It's like sitting in the night's sky and looking out into forever. If that's not an overload, I don't know what is. Interactive art rules, as do settees like the orange one in the picture, circa 1820.
