The lobby of the Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is breathtaking. The museum is situated directly on Lake Michigan, and the location determined the nautical design.
From mam.org:
"May 4, 2001, marked the initial unveiling of the Milwaukee Art Museum's new expansion and renovation which combines art, dramatic architecture and landscape design. Our new Quadracci Pavilion, the first Santiago Calatrava-designed building in the United States, features a 90-foot high glass-walled reception hall enclosed by the Burke Brise Soleil, a sunscreen that can be raised or lowered creating a unique moving sculpture."
