    An oasis near the heart of the campus quite close to the memorial union and waterfront. The museum is open and airy. There are several donated collections here and most of what i saw was from the modern era. When turning a corner into a gallery there was always a work that immediately captured my attention. A pleasing discovery and i regretted leaving after only an hour.

    This beautiful university art gallery has no admission charge. The galleries are bright and creatively filled with an interesting mix of works. The art on display includes paintings, sculpture and ceramics from antiquity until the present time. Madison is lucky to have so many attractions that are free. This museum has a wide variety of paintings and sculptures that span hundreds of years. The museum itself is beautiful and spacious. A real must see if you are in town.
