Okay, “best of” lists are by nature never definite and are never all encompassing. They actually did do a great job but nonetheless i’m gonna throw my two cents in the ring. The Milwaukee Art Museum and the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca, Spain.

The Milwaukee Art Museum. The new edition designed by Santiago Calatrava is an amazing addition to the Milwaukee lakefront/skyline-

The Museo de Arte Abstracto Español en Cuenca is located in a “hanging house” embedded into the side of a cliff. The building, the space, and the layout are all sensational and beautiful-
