The Milwaukee Art Museum collects and preserves art, presenting it to the community as a vital source of inspiration and education.
From its roots in Milwaukee’s first art gallery in 1888, the Museum has grown today to be an icon for Milwaukee and a resource for the entire state. 30,000 works of art. 400,000+ visitors a year. 125 years of collecting art. Central to the Museum’s mission is its role as a premier educational resource, with educational programs that are among the largest in the nation.
Four floors of over forty galleries of art are rotated regularly with works from antiquity to the present in the Museum’s far-reaching Collection. Included in the Collection are 15th– to 20th–century European and 17th– to 20th–century American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, photographs, and folk and self-taught art. Among the best in the nation are the Museum’s holding of American decorative arts, German Expressionism, folk and Haitian art, and American art after 1960.
