Haggerty Museum of Art

Experience this 1984 building originally designed by renowned architect O’Neil Ford and completed by Milwaukee architect David Kahler. The Haggerty Museum of Art recently earned the American Institute of Architects’ inaugural 25 Year Award for enduring excellence.

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.
