Black Cat Alley

Home of the Flying Art Museum

The "wings" of the Burke Brise Soleil open when the museum does at 10 a.m., flap at noon, and close with the museum at 5 p.m. daily (weather permitting).

Sculpture Milwaukee

This annual exhibition turns Wisconsin Avenue into the world's largest curated outdoor art gallery! World-class sculptures line the street from May to October.

Ghost Sign City

Milwaukee is haunted - by ghost signs. Keep your eyes peeled for these faded marks of now-closed businesses on historic buildings downtown.
