The Quadracci Pavilion

Overview

The Quadracci Pavilion is the Milwaukee Art Museum’s 2001 addition and encompasses the sum total of the Museum’s rental spaces, save for the Museum Café. Designed by world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, the pavilion has become the forefront of Milwaukee’s lakefront and an international icon to the city.

Weddings, ceremonies, and large conferences of up to 1,000 or more guests are the most popular events hosted within the Quadracci Pavilion. The pavilion includes Lubar Auditorium, Baumgartner Terrace, and both the Baumgartner and Schroeder Gallerias.

The Quadracci Pavilion is celebrated as an unmatched venue in Milwaukee, lending your event unprecedented interior scenery. Such amenities and options as the Burke Brise Soleil, complimentary gallery access, the visual elements of each individual space, and the Museum’s in-house Catering by Café Calatrava set events in the pavilion apart.
