SPECIALTY ITINERARIES FOR GROUPS

FRAMED
Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion Fine Art Tour

Tour the Pabst Mansion's fine art collection and experience the 1890's in different way, through eyes of many artists, known and unknown.

The art collection though out the Mansion not only reflects the taste of Captain and Mrs. Pabst but also the overall interests of the Milwaukee art scene in the late 19th century. Many of the pieces are the original works purchased by Frederick Pabst to hang in the Mansion, the brewery and other locations of the Pabst real estate holdings. Captain Pabst had many venues in Milwaukee and across the country that the art works would have been appropriate for and offered decorative subject matter in the settings where they were displayed.

The tour will take guests though the Mansion and highlight the major pieces of art in each room. The paintings and sculptures date from the 1640's to the early 1900's with the main period being the last half of the 1800's. Familiar names such as Bouguereau, De Blaas, Israels, Trentanove, Von Lembach, Verboechoven and more will be seen in Milwaukee's most spectacular setting, the Pabst Mansion.

An artistic excursion for your group can be booked by calling Rikki Thompson at the Pabst Mansion at 414-931-8100. The cost is $6.00 each for 15 or more persons.


PABST & PABST TOUR

Captain Frederick Pabst invites you to tour his magnificent 1895 theater and then accompany him to his Flemish Renaissance revival mansion, completed in 1892.

A tour of the Pabst Theater, a National Historic Landmark, gets you in front of and behind the scenery to experience one of the best acoustical sound performance stages ever built. It is the fourth oldest operating theater on the same site in the United States and is considered the best-preserved German-American theater in the country. Its golden curtain has risen over 25,000 times for virtually every great name in music, dance and drama since the opening performance in 1895 and it continues to rise over 200 performances of music, dance and drama each year.

The Pabst Mansion, on the National Registry of Historic Homes, is 20,000 square feet of elaborately handcrafted woodwork, original wall coverings and furnishings, leaded glass, important 19th century art work and a great docent led story. Frederick Pabst will enliven the home tour with personal anecdotes and colorful remembrances. Related exhibits will add interesting aspects to the tour.

The Pabst & Pabst tour will be a lasting memory for your groups. Book this tour by calling Rikki Thompson at the Pabst Mansion at 414-931-8100. The cost is $11.00 each for 15 or more persons.
