Art Museum Museum

• ©

With over 40 galleries, Milwaukee Art Museum displays the work of artists ranging from self-taught folk geniuses to Pablo Picasso. Being itself an architectural landmark, famous for its moveable sunscreen in the shape of wings, that folds and unfolds twice daily, the museum has become an icon for Milwaukee. Apart from paintings, photographs, and video art, among many collections, you'll see Baroque and Renaissance furniture, tableware, and metalwork, as well as the best collection of German Renaissance clocks outside of Germany. The museum has some of the United States' finest collections of American decorative arts, Haitian art, and more. If you get hungry, take a peek at the menu in cafe Calatrava, with entrees inspired by the exhibition currently taking place.

  I took my children on a free day not sure if this was going to go well.or not. I like to say it did. Very beautiful and the staff was so help full and the knowledge with the art work made more amazing about the pieces. The children did some of their own art work. The museum have projects for the kids based on a piece they have on display. Very beautiful and amazing.

  The place to go whether you are a resident or visitor! Fine Milwaukee art, and the option to create your own if you desire. Speak to the curator and visit with some of the local artists. Take your time in the museum and enjoy every cranny of it, or you might find the venture boring. Each piece represents something unique and typically holds a "story" within it. Easy to read the book. After visiting the museum, either dine there or at a local cafe nearby. Very relaxing atmosphere.
