Milwaukee's Hidden Gem: The Grohmann Museum

Wow!! What a kid-friendly find!! We are vacationing with babies and it’s difficult to find places that they can walk and are child safe and this fit the ticket perfectly. The staff were extremely helpful and even stored our double stroller behind the counter (side-by-side double-wide strollers will not fit well here) while we enjoyed all the exhibits. The rooftop garden was absolutely gorgeous with a view. The paintings were incredible to see people at work throughout the ages. Men, women, and children in every occupation. There is a space in the basement to study or eat which was nice. Clean restrooms on every floor. At the end, the manager carried our stroller outside for us because the kids were asleep. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

This is a gem in the middle of Milwaukee! A museum with art dedicated to work and industry may not be typical, but it is truly breathtaking! The tour will start on the roof where you step into the most beautiful rooftop green area filled with grass, amazing flowers, walkways and huge statues positioned around the perimeter of the roof which can be seen from the street below looking upward. The collection ranges from current paintings to some going back the the mid-1500s. Don't forget to look upto the ceiling and down to the main entry floor, as art surrounds you. I highly, highly recommend this museum!

Not only beautiful paintings, sculptures, but an education on the history of Milwaukee, industry, agriculture, invention, men (& women) at work. A real gem of Milw. Everyone needs to come to their Lost Arts weekend don't miss it!, and that's all I'll say about that. I hope this peeks your interest of th Grohmann Museum. It's awesome. And if you come on Thursdays you may even catch a glimpse of artists studying these masterpieces. They're friendly, will talk to you & answer your questions. The people who keep this place going are great too.

I went here a few weeks ago, but I wanted to review this place because I had such a fun time, and everything was phenomenal. I was passing by Milwaukee on my way to Niagara Falls, when my family decided to spend the day here. I am so happy that we did, because we visited this museum and it was astounding! The sculptures and paintings (We saw the men at work exhibit) were beautiful, and we got a nice book with information about art for free! The outdoor balcony area was great, too!

Really pretty museum with reasonable admission price. They focus on labor throughout different ages and they're separated by fields of work. There's three floors which further separate the fields of labor, and I was recommended to start at the top and go down - which was fun since they had an elevator which was see through and gave a nice view of the downtown. Since I went into this not knowing what the museum was about I had plenty of fun. It's worth your time to visit.
