Situated on the city's beautiful waterfront, The Milwaukee Art Museum is the largest in the state.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is known for its striking architecture, especially the Burke Brise Soleil, which opens and closes like wings. Don’t miss the stunning views of Lake Michigan from the museum’s café. With rotating exhibitions and an impressive permanent collection, it’s worth taking your time to explore both the art and the building itself.
