An interesting and unique museum with a rotating collection of artworks which are representative of both domestic and international artists. During my visit they had an exhibit on tobacco silks from the early 1900s. It was quite interesting and was something I had never seen before.They hold classes throughout the year on quilt making and weaving.

Rude and ungrateful! Friends and I spent hours of time organizing donations for their annual rummage sale...followed the list of what they wanted...only to be insulted by rude and ungrateful staff when delivering. Maybe they need to earn their support like the rest of us.

Take your receipt! If the cashier offers you a receipt after youve paid, TAKE IT! Otherwise, in the midst of your relaxing reverie, the Director, as she introduced herself, will rudely ask you if youve paid, because I wasnt here when you arrived. Thats my problem how? Talk to your cashier! Although the quilting/art is beautiful, personally, I wont ever go back.

Visiting the Wisconsin Quilt Museum was a much anticipated event for me. How very disappointed I was to not see any Wisconsin quilts on display. We visited and viewed the Japanese exhibit which took maybe 30 minutes. The name of this building is misleading. Maybe it needs to be renamed the Wisconsin Quilt Exhibition Center. Check the definition of museum. The building itself is beautiful and very “Wisconsin”.

Great little mueseum that was very interesting. Learned what tobacco silks were and how they were incorporated into quilts. Worth the trip to see it and go into Cederburg WI for shopping and wine afterwards.

We attended their 5th birthday part last weekend. It was a nice event with learning and fun for both adults and kids (puzzles, sew-your-own bean bags for corn hole). The 1850s farmstead that its located on was a pleasant surprise for my pioneer life-interested kids. They also have the most interesting climbing tree Ive ever seen. So all around, a fun visit. Well be back in the future.

The Museum has awesome displays from quilt and fiber artists.They have displayed historical quilts, Japanese handwork, modern quilts, knitting, weaving, felting, punched rugs- any type of fiber art you can imagine will be featured at one time or another. Admission is only $6, and a years membership is $30. The barn itself is a showpiece, and the time, thought, and donations that went into making this a reality was well spent. They have great workshops, open the grounds for barn days, and generally give the fiber arts community a beautiful showcase to honor those who did handwork in the past, and carry on the traditions in new ways today.

Top notch museum. I confess that I visited on family day and admission was free, but I was greeted warmly and the staff was great about answering questions related to the pieces being displayed. I was amazed at what the artists could do with material, thread and yarn. I recommend a visit.

Not worth the money paid; the only staff member that was attentive was that one that jumped right on us to pay admission when wed barely walked through the door. The person who came in behind us however, got a lovely introduction about the museum. The website and the brochures made it seem like there would be a large collection of quilts and other fiber arts, but all they had was their two special exhibits that werent very large. Probably the nicest thing about the whole place was the artist in residence, who had a weaving display in the front as we came in. Definitely wont be going here again, or recommending it to anyone else .

Men- take up any offer from your wife to stay in the car. This wouldn’t have been worth it for half the price. I suspect any glowing reviews about this place are from people that have exhibited their work there.

To Anyone who is interested in Quilting or the Fabric Arts, this is a Must See Place! Make sure that you have at least a half-hour to spend there, but one hour would be certainly better!

Disappointed, 2 or 3 old quilts. Not my idea of a museum. Though the current display made was with old tobacco silks the quilts/art pieces were new. Price was high for the 30 minutes it took to view the displays.

I have been to the museum on two different occasions to listen to a guest artist speak. The exhibits have been well worth my drive and the setting is perfect. I plan to return before Stevie the croc leaves Wisconsin. Staff are all friendly and the gift shop has a great variety of items of interest to quilters and non-quilters alike. Plus, Cedarburg is a great little town to visit for food and strolling.
