River’s End Gallery

River’s End Gallery features Robinson Scott’s studio blown art glass in its art gallery in Waukesha. Robinson has worked with blown glass for more than 30 years. The concept and idea for the finished piece is very important, but when he begins creating a piece of glass his focus changes to the dance that defines the glass blowing process. Robinson instinctively handles the glass and moves from start to finish. The River’s End Gallery, 380 W. Main St., Waukesha, 262-780-1191 has other examples of Robinson Scott’s beautiful blown glass pieces.

A Personal Recollection

For many of us growing up in southeastern Wisconsin, our childhood memories are colored fondly by visits to the Milwaukee Public Museum. This world-class institution of anthropology, history and the natural sciences first opened to the public in 1884 and currently operates from its 1960s-era building on West Wells Street. by Anne
