This is a beautiful facility on 3 floors plus a roof garden with giant sculptures (you can see from the street). All the art work depicts workers with various skills in many historical & geographic settings. I love the sculptures, large & small. Go, look, relax. The special exhibits have been interesting as well.

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!

It is unique and shows a side of our heritage that is portrayed in a lively and engaging manner. You wont be sorry , i feel bad it took me so long to go see it.

I stumbled upon this museum on the campus of MSOE downtown Milwaukee. Inexpensive addimission, very interesting exhibits and a roof top that will amaze you. They have many bronze statutes on the rooftop exhibit. Loved it and have been back twice.

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.

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.

The Milwaukee Art Museum closed all but one of their exhibits because of renovations. Thank goodness we found this place. The them was work. It was really interesting and the art work was gorgeous. Make sure you check out the rooftop sculpture.

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.

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.
