Snap a photo inside the stunning Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Museum, along the vibrant murals of Black Cat Alley or under the hanging lights of View MKE.

Black Cat Alley

Stroll among Black Cat Alley's outdoor, large-scale murals located between Kenilworth Place and Ivanhoe Place. When you need a pick-me-up, head to Colectivo Coffee nearby.
