Grades 11–12

The Satellite High School Program explores Western art history using the extensive collections of the Milwaukee Art Museum, from antiquities to contemporary. Through engaging discussions led by Museum staff, the story of Western art unfolds in its full historical, social, religious, economic, and cultural context.

This work culminates in a presentation to the group, along with an aesthetic response. In addition, students are introduced to the array of careers in the museum profession.
