Join the citywide spring Gallery Night & Day Friday-Saturday, April 15-16, when MSOE will feature a new exhibition of 18 European paintings that explores power and the life-altering changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution. The 13 artists in this exhibit were fascinated by the production power and visual impact of the mills, foundries, forge shops, shipyards and factories as steam and electricity ended society's dependency on power generated by man, animals, wind and water. The show, culled from the Man at Work: The Eckhart G. Grohmann Collection at Milwaukee School of Engineering, will be on display in MSOE’s Walter Schroeder Library through mid-July. Gallery Night hours are 5-9 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.
