One of the best small city art museums I've ever been in. I enjoyed every minute of my time there

Very fun art exhibit, free to enter, exhibitions change semi-frequently, so if you come a few times a year - you'll most likely get a new experience each trip.

This was absolutely the most amazing place I have been to in a long time. It was so creative and intelligent. I couldn't believe how much there was to see and it was all for free.

Visited for the first time today. Moved to Sheboygan about 2 years ago and have been thinking about seeing. Glad I finally took the time.

Art is subjective, so I didn't like everything, but it was great to see all the creativity and read about the artists. There are 3 floors of beautifully laid out exhibits. Make sure you visit them all.

And don't miss the bathrooms! So cool, and each one has it's own unique design.

We also had lunch at the cafe and ate outside in a beautiful garden with an amazing looking "gratitude" fountain. I had a bowl of the soup of the day (Creamy potato) and my friend had Red Curry Coconut Hummus that came with fresh carrots, celery and cucumber slices. I'm not a fan of Hummus, but this was delicious.

So if you're on the fence about visiting a "boring" art museum, just go. I promise you won't be disappointed. AND... it's FREE! What a beautiful way to spend the day.

Nice gallery with a nice kids studio, gift shop, and cafe. No wait to enter on a Saturday morning, free admission. 7 galleries plus themed bathrooms occupied us for around 30 minutes. While some of the art is more stereotypical, "meme-like" modern art, a lot of it is very cool. Will return if I'm in the area again. Would recommend.

It's okay, fun for a first experience, maybe a second, but, it isn't much fun past that. There's a dance coordinator I had a crush on in grade school, she's cute, hope she's still as excited working there as she was when she left for it.

rest of the exhibits are kinda like a mixed bead bin, same colors as one, just a mix of stuff. There's usually one or two pieces that are decent, the rest are beyond my pay grade.

This was so DISAPPOINTING. My family and I came from an hour away. We had a terrible time and didn’t even go through the whole museum… the “art” made us extremely uncomfortable, if you even can call it art. You had every staff member up your butt, and it felt disgusting in there. I’m sorry… but highly do not recommend. Waste of time.

I recently visited the John Michael Kohler.Arts Center at 608 New York Ave, in Sheboygan, WI. I planned a trip here and was not disappointed at all. The museum is a no cost self guided adventure. The exhibits tended to be a little toilet and bathroom related but blended in so well with the many other items they had on display. The building and the area is beautiful and well worth another visit.

Participate in the Midsummer Festival of Arts. their annual outdoor art fair. The weather was perfect, and the fair was well attended. It is sponsored by the John Micheal Kohlet Arts Center. It was one of the best well organized art fairs I have done in a long time. An art fair with a good mix of artisans, food trucks and music.

I’m not sure I can adequately say just how much I love this art museum! I’ve grown up less than 2 hours away and I’m just surprised this is such a hidden amazing secret! First of all it’s free. Second they had an interactive exhibit where we were tossed into a great art project and third, just a world class museum. Small sure but it made for a perfect day of getting the museum, preserve and design center done! Just loved it. Kudos to the current artist in residence. She was amazing and fun and helpful!

Fun, free, rainy day spot. I'm not a huge fan of modern and avant-garde art, and that's the majority of the art here. I love that local students' art is showcased here throughout the year. The bathrooms are a main attraction, and the giftshop is really fun. They often host community and cultural events, which is where the true value lies for me.
