The Chazen Museum of Art makes its home between two lakes on the beautiful campus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Within walking distance of the state capitol, it sits squarely in the heart of a vibrant college town. Within the Chazen’s 176,000 square feet of museum space is a collection of approximately 25,000 works of art covering diverse historical periods, cultures and geographic locations, from ancient Greece, Western Europe and the Soviet Empire to Moghul India, 18th-century Japan and modern Africa.
We invite visitors of all backgrounds to step into a place of beauty, respite, inspiration and learning. Stop by for ten minutes between classes, or spend an hour in your favorite gallery.
