Opened in 2021, 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. At the Art Preserve, immerse yourself in entire worlds constructed by artists and glimpse thousands of pieces of art in visible, curated storage. Relax with a drink at the Fred Smith Bar, located in the lobby area. Be sure to check-out the award winning, artist designed washrooms. Admission and parking are always FREE. Winner of the 2023 Governor’s Tourism Award for Arts, Culture, & Heritage. Winner of the 2022 American Architecture Award.
