Grohmann Museum, Milwaukee (must see)

The Grohmann Museum, at Milwaukee School of Engineering, is home to the world's most comprehensive art collection dedicated to the evolution of human work. The museum opened on October 27, 2007 and is located at 1000 N. Broadway.

The museum has three floors of galleries where a core collection is displayed along with feature exhibitions. The museum also has a rooftop sculpture garden, a vending cafe and museum store. It is named in honor of Dr Eckhart Grohmann, an Milwaukee School of Engineering Regent, Milwaukee businessman and avid art collector, who donated the Man at Work collection to Milwaukee School of Engineering in 2001 and subsequently the funds to purchase, renovate and operate the museum that bears his name.

German artist Hans Dieter Tylle created stained glass, a mosaic atrium floor, a ceiling mural and rooftop mural for the museum. With nearly 900 European and American paintings, sculptures and works on paper that depict various forms of work, the Grohmann Museum Collection is the world's most comprehensive collection of its kind. The collection spans over 400 years of history (17-20th centuries). Most of the works in the Grohmann Museum collection are by German and Dutch artists, although others were created by American, Austrian, Belgian, Bohemian, Danish, Dutch, English, Hungarian, Flemish, French and Spanish artists.
