The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) is located on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The museum's history began in 1888 when the Milwaukee Art Association was created by a group of German panorama artists and local businessmen; its first home was the Layton Art Gallery.
In the early 1900s the Milwaukee Art Institute was founded. Alfred George Pelikan, who received his Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) from Columbia University, was the Director of the Milwaukee Art Institute from 1926 to 1942.
The Milwaukee Art Center (now the MAM) was formed when the Milwaukee Art Institute and Layton Art Gallery merged their collections in 1957.
