Rahr West Art Museum, Art museum in Manitowoc, United States
The Rahr-West Art Museum displays American art collections from the 19th to 21st centuries within a Victorian residence featuring ornate woodwork and period details.
Built between 1891 and 1893 for Joseph Vilas at a cost of $35,000, the mansion remained vacant after his death until Reinhardt Rahr purchased it in 1910.
The permanent collection contains works by notable artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Andy Warhol, and Picasso, representing different periods of American artistic expression.
The museum maintains multiple exhibition spaces across two floors, with additional wings constructed in 1975 and 1986 for rotating displays and special collections.
A piece of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 4 crashed near the museum in 1962, leading to an annual celebration called Sputnikfest.
