Four days of flowers, art, and springtime experiences\u2014indoors and after hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MILWAUKEE, WI\u2014<\/strong>February 13, 2026\u2014This April, step inside spring. Art in Bloom returns to the Milwaukee Art Museum April 16\u201319, filling the galleries with vibrant floral installations inspired by works from the collection. For four days only, visitors are invited to an immersive celebration of the season\u2019s arrival and to experience art through fresh color, scent, and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, Art in Bloom coincides with the reopening of the Museum\u2019s refreshed Modern Wing, making this spring an especially rich moment to visit. Reopening March 15, the renewed galleries present the Museum\u2019s celebrated collection of 20th-century art in a new installation that traces defining modern movements from German Expressionism and postwar abstraction to the bold color and form of Georgia O\u2019Keeffe, Gabriele M\u00fcnter, and Barbara Hepworth. New juxtapositions and expanded stories invite visitors to rediscover familiar favorites and encounter modernism in fresh ways\u2014an experience that pairs naturally with Art in Bloom\u2019s floral interpretations throughout the Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpring is a moment of renewal at the Museum, and Art in Bloom captures that feeling beautifully,\u201d said Kim Sajet, Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum<\/strong>. \u201cWith the galleries filled with floral interpretations and the reopening of our refreshed Modern Wing, visitors are invited to experience the collection in a way that feels fresh, joyful, and entirely unique to this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Art in Bloom unfolds across four days with floral installations throughout the galleries, special programs, and evening events that offer new ways to experience the Museum. From daytime exploration to after-hours moments and a one-night-only Floral Fashion Show, visitors can plan a spring visit that fits their schedule and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the galleries in full bloom<\/strong> Floral Fashion Show, Friday, April 17, 7 p.m.<\/strong> After Hours, Saturday, April 18, 4\u201311 p.m.<\/strong> Create together in the Kohl\u2019s Art Studio, Fri\u2013Sun<\/strong> Plan ahead\u2014tickets are limited<\/strong> Tickets go on sale to Members beginning February 5 at 10 a.m. Those who are not yet Members are encouraged to join!
