"It all started in 1994. Robert Greenstreet, dean of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning, chair of the city planning commission, and a member of the 21-person architect-selection committee, chose Santiago Calatrava to be the architect for the new addition to the museum...The reputation of the beauty of this building has circled the world."
