The Milwaukee Performing Arts Center

Performing arts center owned by the Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. It was designed in the Brutalist style by noted Chicago architect Harry Weese. Construction began on June 27, 1966, and it opened on July 26, 1969 as the Performing Arts Center. After a $25 million donation from the Marcus Corporation, Milwaukee County decided to change the venue's name in 1994 to "The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts".
