Inside the museum

The interior of the Milwaukee Art Museum

Beginning around 1872, multiple organizations were founded in order to bring an fine art gallery to Milwaukee, equally the city was still a growing port town with little or no facilities to hold major art exhibitions. Over the span of at least nine years, all attempts to build a major art gallery had failed. Before long after that year, Alexander Mitchell donated all of his collection to constructing Milwaukee's start permanent art gallery in the metropolis'southward history.[2]

In 1888, the Milwaukee Art Association was created by a group of German panorama artists and local businessmen. The same year, British-born businessman Frederick Layton built, endowed and provided artwork for the Layton Art Gallery, now demolished. In 1911, the Milwaukee Art Institute, another building constructed to hold other exhibitions and collections, was completed, adjacent to the Layton Fine art Gallery.

The Milwaukee Art Museum was founded in 1888 and is purported to exist Milwaukee's first art gallery. That merits is disputed by the Layton Fine art Gallery, which opened the same year.[iii]

The Milwaukee Art Heart, now the Milwaukee Fine art Museum, was formed when the Milwaukee Art Institute and Layton Art Gallery merged their collections in 1957 and moved into the newly built Eero Saarinen-designed Milwaukee County War Memorial.

Kahler and Calatrava Buildings [edit]

In the latter half of the 20th century, the museum came to include the War Memorial Heart in 1957 equally well as the brutalist Kahler Building (1975) designed by David Kahler and the Quadracci Pavilion (2001) created by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

The Quadracci Pavilion contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil that opens up for a wingspan of 217 anxiety (66 chiliad) during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at nighttime or during inclement weather. The pavilion received the 2004 Outstanding Structure Award from the International Association for Span and Structural Applied science.[4] This iconic building, oftentimes referred to as "the Calatrava", is used in the museum logo.

2015 Shields Edifice [edit]

In November 2015, the museum opened a $34 million expansion funded jointly past a museum capital campaign and past Milwaukee Canton.[5] The new building, the Shields Edifice, designed past Milwaukee builder James Shields of HGA, provides an additional 30,000 square anxiety for art, including a department devoted to light-based media, photography, and video installation.[6] The building includes a new atrium and lakefront-facing entry point for visitors and was designed with cantilevered elements and physical columns to complement, respectively, the existing Calatrava and Kahler structures on the site.[7] The final pattern emerged subsequently a lengthy process that included the main architect's divergence considering of blueprint disputes and his return to the project.[8]
