Haggerty Museum of Art

Please stop in to experience the 1984 building originally designed by renowned architect O’Neil Ford. After Ford’s death, the project was taken over by Milwaukee architect David Kahler. During your visit, you are invited to experience exhibitions that explore multiple identities and transformations, worldly and otherworldly realms, and the bridging of the past, present, and future. While very different in presentation, all the exhibitions offer art for contemplation and inspiration, inviting viewers to ponder concepts of transcendence and the nature of the inner versus the outer self.

About
The Haggerty Museum of Art is located on the campus of Marquette University, adjacent to downtown Milwaukee in the heart of the Near West Side. FREE and open to the public Monday through Saturday, the Haggerty is one of the most accessible arts venues in the city. At its opening in 1984, the Haggerty Museum of Art was envisioned both as a repository for Marquette University’s collection of fine art and as a center for learning through the visual arts in a way that emphasized necessary connections to other disciplines in the humanities and sciences. The Haggerty Museum of Art connects people—on campus, in the community, and around the world—to art, to ideas, and to one another. The Museum uses the interdisciplinary lens of art to cultivate knowledge, insight, understanding, and belonging, all in service of Marquette University’s commitment to care for the whole person.
