History

The museum was founded in 1988 in Chicago, moved to Schaumburg, Illinois[1] in 1998, and to Galena, Illinois in 2004.[2] The museum in Galena is located in a former brewery building (Fulton Brewery, later Galena Brewery, Eulberg & Sons).[3]

In Schaumburg, the museum occupied an old barn at 190 S. Roselle Rd., before the village evicted it in 2004.[4] The Museum also maintained an International Sculpture Park with works of contemporary art.[5] The sculpture park still exists, situated in a park behind the Prairie Center for the Arts.[6]
