Milwaukee Art Museum. The Milwaukee Art Museum had its origin in two institutions, the Layton Art Gallery, which was established in 1888, and the Milwaukee Art Institute, founded in the early 1900s. These two institutions joined forces in 1957 to form the private, nonprofit Milwaukee Art Center—now the Milwaukee Art Museum. That same year, it moved to its current lakefront location. Some of the current featured exhibits include:
