Art, Music and Recreation

Art work--paintings, posters, sculptures, photographs--adorns the walls, ceilings and courtyards of the Central and neighborhood libraries.

"The Bookworm" by Carl Spitzweg (1808-1885) is the most famous of all his canvases and is frequently reproduced. The donor, Rene Von Schleinitz, gave his collection of German Romantic paintings to the Milwaukee Art Museum, but reserved this one especially for the Milwaukee Public Library.
