8. Calatrava and the Museum Icon




Museum Archipelago show

Summary: This week, we visit two museum works by architect Santiago Calatrava: the Prince Philip Museum of Science in Valencia, Spain and the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee, USA. Both museums look nothing like the museum icon on maps and in mapping programs. Do these facades have anything to say about about what the museum icon might look like in 50 years? Do these buildings even make good museums?
