Join the citywide winter Gallery Night & Day, Friday, Jan. 21 and Saturday, Jan 22, when MSOE will feature the new exhibition, Landscapes: 20th-Century Industry. The show is culled from the Man at Work: The Eckhart G. Grohmann Collection at Milwaukee School of Engineering. Early 20th-century European artists were fascinated by the major impact of the Industrial Revolution on once-familiar landscapes. Their artwork is a record of the constant pace of the power sources of industrial production, as well as its attraction to workers from farming communities who needed year-round employment.
MSOE's Landscapes: 20th-Century Industry will be shown during Gallery night 5-9 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday in the Walter Schroeder Library, 500 E. Kilbourn Ave. Then, the show will be on view during scheduled library hours.
