Milwaukee Art Museum
Visit the Milwaukee Art Museum to see The
Bradley Collection of Modern Art: A Bold Vision
for Milwaukee, showcasing philanthropist and
collector Mrs. Harry Lynde ("Peg") Bradley's
extensive, colorful, and diverse collection that
helped shape the museum into what visitors
know today.
The exhibit, which celebrates its 50th
anniversary, ends on Jan. 19, with special
museum hours that day.
In the 1970s, Peg Bradley honored her late
husband Harry's civic pride and generous spirit
by donating 400 20th-century works from
her eclectic art collection to the Milwaukee Art
Museum, a gift that led to the construction of a
new museum wing.
Works in Bradley's fantastic collection include
Andy Warhol's Colored Campbell's Soup
Can, Georgia O'Keefe's vibrant Poppies, and
renowned pieces by Pablo Picasso, Alex Katz,
Mark Rothko and Barbara Hepworth.
