The Warehouse Art Museum (WAM) is the only museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin dedicated exclusively to the exhibition and study of modern and contemporary art. Opened in 2018, WAM occupies the ground floor of a historic five-story concrete and brick warehouse in the city’s iconic Menomonee Valley. The museum’s international collection of more than 7,000 works reflects the personal vision and values of WAM’s co-founders Jan Serr and John Shannon.
Mission-driven programming at WAM includes four or five gallery exhibitions each year, often featuring guest curators, with concurrent artist talks, guest speakers, and guided exhibition tours. WAM supports the unity of the arts through regular collaborations with dance, film, music, and theater presenters. WAM’s Plumb Press also maintains an active publication and video presence.
