Having been in the works since the 1960s, The Trout Museum of Art was started by the Appleton Artists Guild as a way of compiling a permanent collection, building a viewing gallery, and providing educational opportunities for local artists. The museum now offers this and much more to its visitors, who can explore the exhibitions, attend a special event, take part in a lecture or workshop, or to have fun with their families at the many festivals held at the museum. The exhibitions vary depending on when visitors will be there, but some of the past exhibitions include Celebrating Picasso: Photographs by David Douglas Duncan and The Legacy: A Celebration of Life, a collection of stunning artwork by hospice patients, their loved ones, and the professional caretakers who watch them.
