Kathryn AndersonFebruary 5, 2017I was surprised by how amazing this place was. Great pieces by masters of varying times and styles. Fantastic space. I really enjoyed this museum.
- Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 2017Beautiful and well appointed. Worth the trip alone for the architecture. Liked the "Poster" rotating gallery. Lots of modern and local art
DailyCandyFebruary 25, 2014As if the building’s architecture isn’t stunning enough, the killer art collection from German expressionist prints to contemporary art and an Eero Saarinen-designed War Memorial make it a true gem.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Mubarak AlhaqqanJune 27, 2021The exterior and interior building designs are very beautiful and the details are also very beautiful.. Also, the overwhelming white color inside the museum gives the place vitality and clarity

Juan Carlos Fernández AlemánSeptember 21, 2018The museum is simply amazing. The art works of Liechtenstein, Warhol, and the modern art works are simply amazing #milwaukeeart
Inside and outside are gorgeous. See the wings move at noon and six pm- weather permitting. A must see!
André PellerinMarch 28, 2014Love this place. It pretty much like a gallery than a museum. Lots of windows with lots of lights. I just love the place. It very beautiful at night.
Magda BorgesJune 20, 2015Although it was with any exhibition running when I went there, it was an amazing museum, the architecture of this place is a piece of art! During the summer, must try to walk around the museum too- Stefani KMarch 23, 2016Art in Bloom is such a great exhibit to see and to be apart of! I suggest it to anyone from the city or in town for that weekend!
Kay BurnettJune 3, 2016Many fabulous collections in this museum. The Bradley collection is extensive and deep. Allow time to see it all!! Calatrava bldg is fab!
Rew Van WyckSeptember 3, 2018Oh mercy! I wish we had had more time to view it all! Next trip for sure. This is one incident where the the edifice rivals the content within! Bravo Milwaukee! Well done!
- The new lay out is really improved the flow of the museum. The groupings make a lot more sense. Lake view is fantastic.
Amazing views of Lake Michigan. Really interesting collection in a beautiful building.
Obadiah PoundageJune 13, 2012Wait for a clear, blue-sky day and venture here with your camera. Most of the great shots are from the outside, but get in the main entrance for a few more incredible views.
Brendan S.April 1, 2017Great architecture and welcoming feeling. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
DeJunked The Art of Erik RitterSeptember 13, 2013Fantastic building and collection. So impressed with this place. Can't recommended it enough.
- Nicole SuttonApril 22, 2013If you attend a MAM After Dark event make sure to find one of the promo fliers. Bring it to the counter to buy your ticket you can save $3 so admission is $10 instead of $13.
Dennis NavarroJuly 16, 2016Inside & out very beautiful - the wings on the outside open and close twice daily!
MAM After Dark is fun youthful and art-filled! Excellent exhibition and people watching!!
Great modern art from many of the masters of the 20th century
BigDogsSportsGrillMarch 28, 2012Google the special events going on at the Art museum before you go. Then stop by for a relaxing evening and a glass of wine.
Kendra SinghAugust 24, 2013Yoga at the museum is awesome. Get there early to get a great view of the lake!
Carolina MirandaMay 19, 2011The Bradley Collection on the second floor has a sculpture gallery with couches that offers unobstructed views of the lake. Great for chillin'.
Brian SearlOctober 25, 2010Arrive early or stay late to see the large moving mechanical wings on the exterior of this amazing building. They open at 10am and close at 5pm every day.
VISIT MilwaukeeJuly 6, 2011Go check out a Milwaukee Art Museum After Dark event. Try their themed cocktail at each one!
Jen BergmanOctober 31, 2012There is a new exhibit "Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of Kenwood House, London". MAM is the one of four museum's in the US to have this exhibit!
Make sure to stop by the kids play room where you can dress up in awesome costumes.
Lisa BarneySeptember 2, 2013If you have kids download the Kohls art app. It has a scavenger hunt which helps keep the kids occupied and leaning :)- Become a member! The free admission and monthly after dark parties are worth it!
Y KimApril 8, 2015was quite surprised by the high rate of this museum here. It is true that this is a landmark and good photo spot (maybe) but nothing worth inside. Cafe foods are terrible.
Mykl NovakAugust 3, 2011"Watch the Calatrava wings open and close" - from the top 100 things to do before graduating from Marquette University
Mary GazzeMay 30, 2010Even if you don't have time to go inside,at least come and look at the architecture of the building. It's a cool boat shape
I would put the Milwaukee Art Museum with the best in the world!
Charlie BauerJuly 19, 2010Go to the Milwaukee Art Museum and stand at the end of the inside of the Calatrava facing Lake Michigan, you'll feel like you're at the end of a huge ship!
Check out the Taryn Simon photography exhibit. She does an amazing series of wrongfully convicted criminals being photographed at the scene of their alleged crime.
Ten TargetsDecember 16, 2011Phenomenal venue for large hosted parties. My wife took me to her national Lia Sophia conference. Wow!
Tim Page-BottorffOctober 11, 2011Wings are closed for a couple of weeks excluding weekends. I have been here Wed. And Tues. No wings. Bummer!
