The Milwaukee Art Museum collects and preserves art, presenting it to the community as a vital source of inspiration and education. 30,000 works of art. 400,000+ visitors a year. 125 years of collecting art. 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.
The 341,000-square-foot Museum includes the War Memorial Center (1957) designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, the Kahler Building (1975) by David Kahler, and the Quadracci Pavilion (2001) created by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
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, involving classes, tours, and a full calendar of events for all ages.
Eastman Johnson and a Nation Divided inaugurates a new series of focus exhibitions that will highlight the Layton Art Collection, one of Milwaukee’s earliest, seminal collections of American and European paintings and sculpture that Frederick Layton formed in the late-nineteenth century. The yearly exhibition, together with related programming, will explore in depth a significant work from the Layton Art Collection, providing new insights and interpretations.
