Milwaukee Art Museum, Expansion and Renovation

New Pathways Welcome, Engage, and Inspire

The Milwaukee Art Museum expansion and renovation elevates the museum’s status as a national cultural icon. The two-story, 120,000-SF addition overlooking Lake Michigan features additional gallery space, café, sculpture collection, and gathering spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows take advantage of lakeside views. The exterior incorporates light-refracting stainless steel panels that complement the adjacent War Memorial building.
