The Milwaukee Art Museum is a must-see landmark on Milwaukee’s lakefront, celebrated for its architectural marvel—the movable Burke Brise Soleil, or “wings,” which span 217 feet and unfold and fold twice daily. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this striking feature, along with buildings by Eero Saarinen and David Kahler, makes the Museum a unique destination.

As Wisconsin’s largest arts institution, the Museum offers a diverse collection of art from antiquity to contemporary times, including photography, Minimalism, Modern American painting, folk and self-taught art, Haitian art, German Expressionism, and decorative arts.

Visitors can explore the Museum independently or join a docent-guided tour for deeper insights. For a hands-on experience, join the Drop-In Art Making Sessions for art-making inspired by the Museum’s collection.

Whether you’re an art lover or an architecture enthusiast, the Milwaukee Art Museum offers an unforgettable experience.
