What) Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory is a conservatory located at Mitchell Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Conservatory is composed of three beehive-shaped glass domes that span 140 feet (43 m) in diameter and are 85 feet (26 m) high. They are properly referred to as the world's first conoidal domes. They cover 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of display area and were constructed in stages from 1959 to 1967. Each of the three domes maintains a distinct climate (Display, Tropical and Arid) and setting for the exposition of its contents. (1)

    Why) The buildings interested me and I thought that the contents would interest Pam.  Sadly, the day we arrived was rainy and our Buckys spirit was low.  This meant that I was too lazy to get outside so I took two pictures from inside the Jeep and drove away.
