I kept being followed and anywhere I went like a criminal. I have visited several galleries and never was treated this way. Workers of course should keep an eye, but I ended up crying after I left the gallery.Was it racism or just poor treatment from staff?I asked them what they were doing and they didn't even say anything. It was so dehumanizing.They could have followed me and conversed with me like a charming or attentive person if they were so worried.It was one of the worst experiences I had at a gallery, and I don't ever plan to go go back until they address their staff.I wouldn't exhibit here.

Amazing collectionBased on the current exhibits, you can see the museum in 25 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on if you read the provided information about each piece

It is free, and there is street parking in front, but is it worth your time to go there if you aren't in the neighborhood? Possibly not. If you are near by, I would recommend you pop in. The collection is very small, but it does have some interesting pieces. I think I might have enjoyed the architectures as much or more than the collection. It is probably not easy to visit the museum when the university is in session, as there probably won't be easy street parking.

Very interactive evening. Lots of volunteers share their passion for the environment, art, counseling. I'll be back

Never really thought to go to this museum, but glad we did. It was fairly small, but had a lot of thought provoking and modern art pieces, and many from "popular" or famous artists. I think it would be great for a school field trip or someone just getting into the basics of art, as it has a lot of interactive elements and a good mix of pieces within its exhibits.

Small museum, but you can't beat the price. They deserve your donations though. Brought some wee ones here after they reopened to townies after all the COVID-19 fun. Everyone was still wearing masks, there was one path to follow, and they had sanitizer ready. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think they were happy to have visitors again, and I don't blame them. They explained that they have events in the galleries sometimes, such as yoga or ballet. Would be nice to see, i think. The building is pretty interesting architecturally, with the cubes poking out of it and all.The art didn't knock my socks off on this visit, but you never know what you'll find. The Keith Haring construction fence mural was pretty cool though, and I like how he let bystanders help paint it. There was also a painting of a kapok tree that led to a discussion about crown shyness (look it up, it's neat) so we got some science in there too.The kids also got some activity books, which occupied them on the ride home. I don't know if they have them all the time, but worth an ask i guess,The 'gift shop' is a single display case with some shirts and stuff in it. They also had nice clean bathrooms. We parked on the street and paid the meter, there were plenty of spots on a Friday afternoon.It's worth a trip, everyone should visit atleast once. And keep an ear out for new exhibitions and come back when something sounds fun.

One of the better museums in Milwaukee and it's absolutely free. Put this on your must see list.

Great place but finding parking was not a walk in the park..

The Haggerty has many pieces I do not consider "art," but given it is a small university museum and not a large operation, I'm willing to overlook. Known for its religious Dali piece (pictured) and Marc Chagall's religious pieces, it's nice place to stop by when you're in the area. Also pictured "The Great Lakes Cycle" by Alexis Rosman. The curator, Lynne, is quite nice--willing to explain the pieces and walk you through the exhibition.

Small art museum that could be amazing or boring depending when you go. Because of the size the collection is always changing you either see a fully decked out museum or bare and uninteresting amalgamation of pieces.

The Haggerty Art Museum is great. It's a small museum, but it is free to all. I enjoyed my visit. They change art exhibits every few months.

Disappointed that I made the trip over. It was free, which is lovely, but didn't have much of a collection. Had an emphasis on modern art, but even this felt like a stretch (the main space was dedicated to a paper boat which looked like it belonged more so on the set of an elementary school play). The two exceptions were a rather interesting piece by Dali, "Madonna at Port Lligat" and a Warhol print.
