When winds exceed 23 mph for more than 3 seconds, the wings close automatically.

Outside on the bridge between the museum and the parking garage across the street is the best location.

If you don't mind a very pleasant Milwaukee walk, you wouldn't have to. However, it is an option. Sorry for the delay in responding. I just saw your question now.

it is significantly smaller than art museums in large cities like the Met in NYC, the Chicago Art Institute and the National Gallery in DC and also smaller than those in comparably-sized cities like Cleveland and Kansas City. Also, the collection is not comprehensive (no classical, Renaissance or art from outside Europe/America) and is heavily concentrated in modern and contemporary art. If you like that kind of art, you may spend longer, but if not, you won’t spend as long as you otherwise would at an art museum. You’ll be able to see a lot of it in under 3 hours.

I do not recall but you can always call them at (414) 224-3200.
