The Art Preserve of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center is the world’s first museum to focus entirely on work from artist-built environments—spaces and places that have been significantly transformed by an artist. With over 35 art environments in one space, visitors can immerse themselves in entire worlds constructed by artists and glimpse thousands of pieces of art in visible, curated storage. The Fred Smith Bar, located in the lobby area, offers cold and hot beverages. Award-winning, artist designed washrooms enhance the overall experience. 

Admission and parking are always free.
