Grohmann Museum
An art museum devoted to the “beauty of labor,” with centuries of paintings and sculptures of workers and industry, plus a rooftop sculpture garden.
The Grohmann Museum is part of the Milwaukee School of Engineering and holds about 1,500 paintings and sculptures on the theme of human labor. Subjects range from 17th-century farming and blacksmiths to the steel mills of the Industrial Revolution, a theme that is quite unusual among museums worldwide. The rooftop garden features several bronze statues of workers and views over downtown. Admission is about $10, free for students. The museum is northeast of downtown and within walking distance.
