MILWAUKEE, WI<\/strong>\u2014October 28, 2024\u2014The Milwaukee Art Museum is thrilled to announce a major expansion of its Museum Store, located within the iconic Santiago Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion. This November, the store will more than double in size, expanding from one level to two, and offer an even wider selection of jewelry, designer goods, Museum-branded merchandise, and much more just in time for the holiday season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project has been in the works for some time, and we\u2019re thrilled it\u2019s becoming a reality,\u201d said Karen Brandolino, Director of Retail Operations<\/strong>. \u201cThe store\u2019s refreshed direction was designed with our fabulous patrons in mind, solidifying the Museum Store\u2019s position as the most artful shopping destination in Milwaukee.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Museum Store opens to the public on Wednesday, November 20, 2024,<\/strong> with a new footprint that extends to the second level and includes the once-private Quadracci Suite, a space that features Calatrava\u2019s signature organic architecture. The suite overlooks Windhover Hall, allowing visitors to see this visually striking space from a new angle. Shopping on the first level will feature an original Calatrava-designed oval cabinet and even more Museum merchandise, including apparel, exhibition-specific products, and gifts for creative kids. The second level will welcome back the original Calatrava-designed pearwood display case with a robust selection of high-end jewelry, home d\u00e9cor, art books, and designer objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Calatrava, as it\u2019s affectionately called by Milwaukeeans, plays a big role in the overall Museum experience. The expansion of the popular Museum Store, both inside this iconic building and online, will delight visitors with new opportunities to connect to and support the Museum,\u201d said Scott Schwebel, Chief Experience Officer<\/strong>. \u201cThe refreshed experiences\u2014in addition to cool, unique products\u2014will make the store a must-shop retail destination for visitors, art lovers, and creatives alike.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the brick-and-mortar store, the Museum launches a refreshed online store. The new MAMstore.org<\/strong><\/a> features a contemporary design, exclusive inventory, and an enhanced shopper experience. The web-based MAMstore features a custom print shop where visitors can now\u2014for the first time\u2014order custom-framed, archival-quality prints of artworks featuring favorites from the Museum\u2019s collection. For updates on the Museum Store, follow @shopmamstore<\/strong><\/a> on Instagram.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every purchase at the Museum Store or MAMstore.org directly supports the Museum\u2019s mission to share extraordinary works of art, reveal their compelling stories, and create meaningful experiences to grow and inspire our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
