San Jose Museum Director To Take Over Milwaukee Art Museum

Dan Keegan revitalized the smaller San Jose museum. With an aim of attracting “venture culturalists” – museum visitors willing to take a risk and experience art that connects to the human experience – Keegan spearheaded a drive to attract patrons by offering free admission at the museum from 2001-06. The campaign increased museum attendance by 115 percent, to nearly 200,000 visitors a year.
