Viking Bronzes to American Arts & Crafts: A Tradition Transplanted

When two Danish immigrants settled in Edgerton, Wisconsin in 1903, they sought to create pottery that was new, yet resembled ancient works. They called it Norse pottery. Norse pottery reinterpreted antique Scandinavian pottery, combining it with Western and Oriental motifs. The pottery is covered in a matte, dark, metallic glaze.

General Admission to the Museum: $5 Adults/$3 Seniors, Veterans and Students/free to Members and Active Military. For more information, call 414-271-3656.
