Schroeder and Baumgartner Gallerias

The Baumgartner and Schroeder Gallerias stretch almost the entire length of the Quadracci Pavilion, extending north from Windhover Hall to the Museum’s Collection galleries. The gallerias are parallel concourses that flank Lubar Auditorium, the Museum Store, and the Baker/Rowland Galleries, in which the featured exhibitions are presented. Baumgartner Galleria provides expansive views of Lake Michigan, while Schroeder Galleria looks out onto the Cudahy Gardens, and the city beyond. Either Galleria can be rented separately or as part of a larger Quadracci Pavilion rental.

Both Baumgartner and Schroeder Gallerias are promenades that connect to Windhover Hall. Benches punctuate their running lengths, and are popular resting spots for guests and tour groups. Each galleria, offering an impressive archway with geometrically inspired windows that flood light onto the white marble floor, has proved to be an unequaled site for holiday parties, banquets, exhibitions, fundraising receptions, and even fashion runway shows.
