About Museum of Wisconsin Art

The Museum of Wisconsin Art collects and exhibits contemporary and historical art from Wisconsin, presenting American art through a single state's perspective. Its main venue, the Mothership, sits along the Milwaukee River in downtown West Bend. The museum also runs a satellite gallery in downtown Milwaukee and partners with community organizations to share programs and collections around the state. Exhibitions rotate, and the museum hosts events such as its annual BLOOM flower weekend. Entry works through an annual membership model rather than single-day tickets.
