Racine Art MuseumDescriptionRacine Art Museum is a new museum featuring one of North America's most brilliant collections of contemporary crafts. With a permanent collection of more than 3,000 objects, half of these pieces represent the museum’s focus on contemporary crafts from internationally recognized artists in ceramics, fibers, glass, metals and wood.
The remaining items in the collection are a combination of 1930s art from the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project, which was the museum’s first acquisition, along with works on paper, paintings and sculpture.
