The essence of this unique city on the isthmus is exquisitely captured in nineteen large panoramic displays by renowned Wisconsin photographer Zane Williams. Williams’ photography boldly portrays the stunning visuals Madison offers, from the Capitol Dome and Monona Terrace to the cityscape and our vibrant community.

LEVEL 6 – WILLIAM T. EVJUE ROOFTOP GARDENS

Art on the Rooftop

Art on the Rooftop is a free exhibit of public sculpture in the William T. Evjue Rooftop Gardens for the enjoyment of our visitors. What began as an outdoor pilot project in 2014 to help showcase the rooftop garden has become an annual “must see” Madison event, with artwork and artists changing each year.

The exhibit is open whenever the Rooftop Gardens are open and is free to the public.

LEVEL 4 – PROMENADE WEST

“The Wright Picture” Photo Exhibition

“The Wright Picture” is a unique exhibition of photographs taken during the last 20 years of Frank Lloyd Wright´s life by acclaimed architectural photographer, Pedro E. Guerrero.
