Special Exhibitions at the Haggerty Museum of Art
Current Tendencies II presents many never-before-seen works created specifically for the Haggerty Museum by 10 Milwaukee artists. Each artist was paired with a Marquette professor who wrote a reflection on the artist’s work based on the professor’s area of experience. A second exhibit, The Sacred Made Real, shows Old Masters from the Haggerty’s Permanent Collection.
