Windover Hall

The Windover Hall is the entrance hall for the Quadracci Pavilion at the Milwaukee Art Museum. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and is designed after a Gothic Cathedral. The hall is completed with flying buttresses, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a central nave topped by a 90-foot high glass roof. The hall's chancel is shaped like a ship overlooking Lake Michigan. Connected to the hall are two tow-arched promenades, The Baumgartner Galleria and Schroeder Foundation Galleria, overlooking the lake and downtown Milwaukee.
