Review & FAQ:

In 1938, the widow of Charles A. Wustum bequeathed the family home to the city for an art museum. The 12 acre property on the edge of town was across the street from the Horlicks factory. The first exhibit opened with 96 paintings by Wisconsin artists. This was augmented by 294 woven articles from the New Deal's Work Progress Administration (WPA). Today it houses 9500 articles, the largest and most significant craft collection in Northern America. The museum has moved to an 1874 bank building, tripling the area available for display. The original Racine Art Museum has been upgraded and is being used as an education center.
