Owned and operated by the
Milwaukee School of Engineering the Grohmann Museum attests to its namesake’s
avid interest in the evolving practices and mixed fruits of human toil, ranging
from quarrying and ship building, glass blowing, agriculture and the medical
misadventures and usurious practices of the 17th century. More than
700 paintings and sculptures occupy three floors of gallery space, including
works by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Julien Dupre and J. G. Brown, housing
everything from Dutch genre painting to French realism and Impressionism from the 19th
century. In fact the very fabric of the building offers a foretaste of what’s
in store. A dozen larger-than-life bronze sculptures survey the city from the
building’s roofline. Visitors entering the lofty glass atrium at the corner of
North Broadway and State Street are greeted by dramatic scenes above and below
inspired by the collection.
