Thanks to an anonymous $3.5 million donation, children 12 and under can now explore the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) free of charge. This generous gift establishes an endowment to ensure young visitors have unlimited access to the museum’s collections, exhibitions, and educational programs.
The donor, who cherished family visits to the museum, wanted to pass on the joy of experiencing art to future generations. Their vision is now a reality, enabling children to engage with world-class exhibits and develop a lifelong appreciation for creativity and culture.
Museum officials celebrated the transformative impact of this gift, emphasizing how it will strengthen community connections through art. Current exhibitions include thought-provoking works by Robert Longo and LaToya M. Hobbs, providing an inspiring space for young minds to learn and explore.
This lasting legacy honors the Milwaukee Art Museum’s tradition of nurturing creativity in children, ensuring that art remains accessible and enriching for years to come.
