If a person goes on an awesome vacation but doesn’t post about it on Instagram, did it really happen? Better to play it safe and make sure you get some great photos during your trip to Milwaukee! Here’s some recommendations for can’t-miss shots while you’re in Milwaukee.
Public Art
What’s not to love about public art? Murals and outdoor sculptures give a city a personality all its own. Milwaukee’s RiverWalk is lined with sculptures and you’ll find colorful murals adorning buildings throughout the city. Many of these displays are created by local artists, but some by globally-recognized artists such as "What Lifts You" by Kelsey Montague Art.
RiverWalk
Want a great, easy way to explore the city on foot? The Milwaukee RiverWalk winds through the heart of the city, tying together three distinct riverfront neighborhoods — the Historic Third Ward, Downtown, and Beerline B – and bringing you to the doorstep of some of the city’s best restaurants, brewpubs, shops, and nightlife. The RiverWalk is also home to an outdoor art gallery called RiverSculpture! that includes both permanent pieces and temporary installations that change periodically. Ranging from small, whimsical sculptures such as Gertie, the world's most celebrated duck, to sizable and striking abstract works, there are currently 20 sculptures on display representing national, regional, and local artists.
