Current Exhibit: The Frank Lloyd Wright Trail: Places to Live Learn Work & Worship
Spanning a seven-decade career and recognized as one of America’s most renowned architects, Frank Lloyd Wright created over 1,000 designs, with nearly half of them brought to life. Wisconsin proudly houses 43 of Wright's buildings, including nine public sites that are part of the 200-mile Frank Lloyd Wright Trail. This Trail, spanning eight counties across southern Wisconsin, pays homage to Wright in his home state, showcasing his vision of creating a uniquely American architecture in harmony with nature.
Each site featured in this exhibit embodies a place to live, learn, work, or worship, aligning with Wright's philosophy that buildings should be of their time, place, and purpose. Wright believed that architecture should “make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life.” The exhibit invites you to explore each site along the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail and find inspiration in Wright's genius.
The sites featured along the Trail, arranged from Racine to Richland Center, include:
- SC Johnson Administration Building
- SC Johnson Research Tower
- Wingspread: The Johnson Foundation
- Burnham Block
- Monona Terrace
- First Unitarian Society Meeting House
- Taliesin & Riverview Terrace
- Wyoming Valley School
- A.D. German Warehouse
