grohmann museum印象

Loved the Art work, loved the open air sculptures on the top, but for us elderly or people who would like to use the benches provided inside to sit and look at the pictures, they are way to low. I kept looking at them, thinking I would love to sit for a minute to look at the picutres, but if I had sat down I would never gotten back up. Who on earth picked them out. I know this is a small thing, because the rest is just beautiful, so this is just a suggestion.

This is a tiny little museum on MSOE's campus celebrating "man at work". If you're really into history I can see how you could find it somewhat interesting, but if you're not both a huge art and history fan, I definitely think there are better ways to spend your time around Milwaukee.

this little gem of a museum is the best kept secret in Milwaukee. the setting is sublime and the renovations have been carefully done to make the interior like a little jewel box.the art is first-rate and perhaps the best collection of work on art in the US, if not the world. There is no other museum where you can see the quality and quantity on this subject. it has been carefully and thoughtfully collected and very tastefully displayed.take your time to savor each piece which includes magnificent oils and fantastic bronzes.ask to see the roof garden and turret if possible - it will simply define your effort to see this museum.

i was amazed at the statues on the roof. i have told people about this place. i would say it is a must see.

This is a collection. One man's collections of art on the subject of manual labor. And it is one that lacks a bit in it's presentation. Be prepared to see a lot of paintings by German artists of white men in Europe working. That is fine. I was hoping for broader view of work, but that is fine. What wasn't was the vast amount of information they tried to put on the few posting they had. They really needed to breakdown the information better so I could understand exactly what they were talking about. Take a few pictures down and add more information broken down into simpler terms. I was over by the mining exhibit and they had information on mining lamps. It was informative. But then it referred to another case to see an example of what they were talking about and I couldn't find the example. Frustrating. I got interested in something and wanted more. But Mr. Grohmann foot the bill for it and it is his prerogative to show what he wants and how he wants. It is only $5 so, it might be worth a look.

Compelling artwork, paintings, sculpture dating back from the present to hundreds of years showing workers in their element. Metal forging, agriculture, and everything in between. The setting is light and airy, including unique rooftop gallery. Great educational value for a small admission fee. Our 15 year old got something from it, but probably wouldn't admit it!

It is a somewhat limited collection in scope, some sculptures of workingmen, and paintings mainly from 1830 through 1950s, but the topics are fascinating. A little more practical than many collections with the pieces the artists created. Really enjoyed my visits during the Open Door Milwaukee weekend, and it would be well worth the $5 admission at any other time of the year.

One family's collection of art and sculpture. All based around the working man over the last two centuries around the world. A very nice mix of hard work and sweat and labor. Part of MSOE Campus and worth visiting when in Milwaukee.

Great museum. Three levels of awesome art depicting industrial evolution over the last several centuries. I tip my hat to MSOE for making this available to Milwaukee.

Every December, if you're a member of one of the major Milwaukee museums, there's a day when you have free admission to several of the other museums. I took advantage of Swap Day to visit the Grohmann.Unfortunately, I only had about two hours to visit. The staff suggested that I start on the top floor and work my way down. I was completely fascinated by the whole theme of the museum -- art about work. The sheer number of pieces on display is astonishing. There is a whole section of the museum devoted to textiles, spinning, and weaving, for example.I loved the multimedia presentation on glass production. I think this museum is still not very well known. I hope visitors to Milwaukee, as well as residents, discover this hidden gem. I can't wait to go back and see the floors that I didn't get to on this past visit!
