The Milwaukee Art Museum’s monumental expansion project, completed in October 2001, has significantly expanded the Museum’s role as a comprehensive art institution and strengthened its position as a cultural cornerstone for the Milwaukee community and region. This project, named Time magazine’s “Best Design of 2001,” features the new Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion, renovated and reinstalled Collection galleries in existing Museum buildings designed by Eero Saarinen and David Kahler, and The Cudahy Gardens designed by noted landscape architect Dan Kiley.

“This was a monumental project, encompassing an exceptional architectural and engineering masterpiece, dramatic new gallery space, expanded facilities and visitor amenities, and elegant public gardens,” said David Gordon, Museum director and CEO.

The Milwaukee Art Museum’s expansion provides a 30 percent increase in overall gallery space, from 90,000 to 117,000 square feet. Many of the public spaces previously located in the existing Museum buildings are now housed in the new Quadracci Pavilion, creating room for presenting more works from the Museum’s Collection, many of which have not been on view in years. More than 500,000 people visited the Milwaukee Art Museum during its first full year of operation after the new building opened.
