Lower Gallery

2007 will see major changes to the Wisconsin galleries. From January through August the focus will be on the The Art of the Panorama Painters who worked in Milwaukee in the late 19th century, producing the leviathans of the art world. Alongside this, The Way We Were: People, Places and Events uses interesting juxtapositions of works in various media and shows how our world was recorded by artists. Beginning in September, a recently restored and rare mural by acclaimed regionalist, John Steuart Curry, will be unveiled for the first time in over 60 years.

Hallway Gallery

Origins of Modernism. On display will be works revealing the extent to which Wisconsin artists were aware of, and responsive to, modern trends in art during the early 20th century.
