The Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art, often called "the Haggerty," is an art museum at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. It opened in 1984. A professor named Curtis L. Carter helped lead the effort to create it.
The museum was built thanks to a generous gift from Patrick E. Haggerty and his wife, Beatrice. Patrick Haggerty was a former student of Marquette University and helped start a company called Texas Instruments. The museum is named after them because of their support. They also gave their own art collection to the university.
When the museum was being built, the construction site had a special mural. This mural was called Construction Fence and was made by the famous American artist Keith Haring.
