More Madison

Madison has some lovely new architecture. This library has gorgeous design elements. Including an amazing ceiling. It turns out it was designed by a Minneapolis firm Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. along with Potter Lawson, Inc. of Madison

I don't know if you can tell, but it says library up the side of the building (right in the middle.)

Look at the ceiling in the picture above. It is really pretty.
The art center was designed by Cesar Pelli and is absolutely stunning. They have a fountain of lights hanging down from the dome.

The staircase has a pair of jagged light bars down the stairwell.

In another part of the building is a gift shop, and the contemporary art museum. They were celebrating their triennial.  These stairs up to the gallery are glass.

 

Here's a shot through the window from the stairs.

 

From the outside, the arts center looks like this.

 

And here am I in a Hotel mirror.
