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 spanning 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, join a docent-guided tour, or participate in Drop-In Art Making inspired by the collection. With special exhibitions, cultural celebrations, and events year-round, there’s always something new to discover.

Recognized as one of the best museums in the country by Condé Nast Traveler, the Milwaukee Art Museum offers an unforgettable experience you won’t want to miss.
