Italian art – from the religious paintings of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance to the secular neoclassical and genre paintings of the nineteenth century," said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. "The remarkable regional and historical breadth of the exhibition will also showcase the outstanding quality of Glasgow Museums' collection." Tanya Paul, Isabel and Alfred Bader Curator of European Art at the Milwaukee Art Museum, added, "This sumptuous exhibition presents the works of famous artists that even some art historians wait a lifetime to see. Most of the paintings have never traveled to America before, and many have been conserved specifically for this presentation." Special Gallery Talks and Express Talks are scheduled during the exhibition's run. For more information, visit mam.org. The Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Dr., is located downtown on the Lake Michigan lakefront and is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and on Thursdays until 8 p.m. Admission is $14 for adults; $12 for students, seniors, and active military; and free for members and for children age 12 and under. Feature exhibitions are included in the price of admission. The first Thursday of each month is Target Free First Thursday and admission is free for individuals (does not apply to groups). Beginning in fall 2014, the Museum began an ambitious project to renovate its two oldest buildings, the Eero Saarinen–designed War Memorial Center (1957) and the David Kahler– designed addition (1975), which house the Museum's Collection Galleries. Increased gallery space, including an entire floor dedicated to photography and new media, an improved gallery layout, and a new lakeside entrance are among the improvements planned. The collections will be off view through fall 2015; however, the Museum is open throughout construction, with a vibrant schedule of exciting exhibitions, educational offerings, and special programs in the Quadracci Pavilion.
