The International Museum of Surgical Science (IMSS) is the only museum in North America devoted exclusively to the history of surgery, while also embracing contemporary art exhibitions that engage with medicine, the body, and related themes. The IMSS is a division of the International College of Surgeons, founded by Max Thorek in 1934.
The museum is housed in a historic 1917 mansion originally designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw for socialite Eleanor Robinson Countiss. The design was inspired by the French Petit Trianon (at Versailles). The building features four floors of gallery space and remains a fine example of early-20th-century luxury residential architecture now adapted for museum use. The IMSS aims to enrich people’s lives by enhancing their appreciation and understanding of the history, development, and advances in surgery and related subjects in health and medicine. While its core is medical history and surgical science, the museum also explicitly supports contemporary art exhibitions that explore the body, medicine, diagnostics, technology, and how they intersect with culture.

Grand Opening Reception
The community is invited to celebrate the grand opening of JK Art House’s new space at a Grand Opening Reception on Friday, June 5, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. at 191 N. Broadway, Milwaukee. The evening will serve as the opening reception for The Studio: A Family Dialogue in Paint, featuring Dan McCaw, John McCaw, and Danny McCaw. Guests are invited to meet the artists, explore the new space, and experience a first look at what JK Art House has in store.
From the Owners
“JK Art House is built on the belief that great art should feel welcoming—that a gallery can be both a serious place for collecting and a home where the community can celebrate.
— Julia Taylor, Gallery Director & Co-Owner
“Investing in the arts is investing in the soul of this city. I’m proud to help bring a gallery of this caliber to Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, and to support the extraordinary artists whose work will fill it.”

Beginning August 26, with the reopening of RAM Downtown following a new roof installation and other facility upgrades, the museum will offer free general admission for all Racine County residents. The initiative is made possible by the generous support of the Osborne & Scekic Family Foundation and expands on the free admission policy already in place at RAM Wustum.
Free admission applies to regular daily entry and does not include specially ticketed exhibitions or events. Valid proof of Racine County residency is required.
Extended Hours
Also starting with the museum’s reopening next week, RAM Downtown will offer expanded hours to provide greater flexibility and convenience for visitors. The museum will be open Wednesday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm, along with new evening and weekend hours. Guests can enjoy the museum until 8pm on Thursdays, and from 12 – 4pm on Sundays. RAM Wustum remains open Wednesday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm.
Racine Art Museum (RAM) is a nationally recognized institution that presents exhibitions and programming curated around contemporary art, craft, and design. Located in Racine, Wisconsin, a historic community on the shores of Lake Michigan, it occupies two facilities—the Racine Art Museum, an expansive modern gallery with award-winning architecture on the downtown waterfront, and the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts (Wustum), an exhibition space and studio art center housed in a historic farmhouse surrounded by lawns and gardens.
RAM is known for having the largest contemporary craft collection in North America, with more than 14,000 works by renowned artists in ceramics, fiber, glass, metal, polymer, wood, and more. RAM's thoughtful exhibitions invite visitors to engage with artistic innovation, the physicality of materials, and the intersection of the craft and contemporary art movements.
Wustum—located just two miles away from RAM—offers community outreach programs, studio art classes for students of all ages and abilities, and exhibitions like Watercolor Wisconsin and annual themed Community Art Shows that showcase the vitality of the area's arts scene.

We are located just “South of North Avenue” (SoNa) on Ashland Avenue and east of the iconic intersection of Damen, Milwaukee, and North Avenue.
The gallery features art in a variety of media including paintings, prints, sculpture, photography, collages, ceramics, textiles, and occasional performances of poetry, music, and theater. The artwork carried by SoNa Chicago reflects the creativity and abundant energy of the human spirit, affirming the beauty in the world and the potential for joy and the advancement of humanity as a force for good. Although we will put a spotlight on Chicago artists, we want the dialogue between artists and the community to be global. We view our space as a venue for conversation, community, and a celebration of the arts. SoNa Chicago opened in May 2023. We look forward to collaborating with our neighbors and with artists and galleries across the city.

The Gallery of Contemporary Mosaics (GoCM) exhibits internationally recognized, emerging, and established contemporary artists working across various disciplines, including mosaic art. GoCM champions artists who demonstrate exceptional conceptual and technical skill through a wide range of approaches and materials. In the US, contemporary mosaics remain relatively unacknowledged as a fine art; therefore, GoCM offers a platform for highly respected and regarded artists to showcase their work in our state-of-the-art facility. GoCM is affiliated with The Chicago Mosaic School (CMS), the preeminent center for mosaic arts education in the Americas. The Gallery of Contemporary Mosaics will significantly transform how audiences experience mosaics, both within and beyond our walls.
