About Milwaukee
Milwaukee is a Wisconsin city on Lake Michigan, known for its brewing past, an art museum with moving wings, lakefront festivals and fish fries.
Three rivers meet Lake Michigan at Milwaukee, on its western shore, and the city was shaped by waves of German and Polish immigrants who built its breweries, tanneries and factories. The Milwaukee Art Museum, a lakefront building by Santiago Calatrava with a huge sunshade whose wings open and close, is the city's emblem. The RiverWalk follows the Milwaukee River through downtown, past restaurants and a bronze statue of the Fonz from the sitcom Happy Days.
Top-ranked sights in Milwaukee: Milwaukee Art Museum, Bronze Fonz, Pabst Theater.
