i'm from DC and am lucky to see plenty of world class art on display and passing through, but I love stopping at regional art museums and seeing what they have. Milwaukee's was really nice. Start with the really original and dramatic building set on the lake. They hit a home run with that. The displays are also very well... More

Some nice collections. The lake front setting is lovely. It can be enjoyed in an afternoon. The museum cannot be compared to the Chicago Art Institute that is about an hour away.

We are members of the Art Museum and make every effort to get to each special exhibit - BUT A MUST SEE EVERY YEAR is the Art 'n Bloom event; florists from around the city select a piece of art and emulate it with a live floral display - gorgeous; in addition there are numerous vendors around to get you...

This is not so much about the art as the building. Oh the art is good, though not great. The O'Keeffe collection is decent, but I would have thought much more so, since she is a Wisconsin native. The folk art collection is surprisingly interesting, as is the Haitian art, but most of the pieces are by unknowns, at least... More

Nice things to see, there was going on a flower exibition so everything smelled very nice! The architecture of the place is wonderful, very big and good light
