Milwaukee Art Museum Restitutes and Reacquires Enslaved Artist David Drake's Stoneware Jars
The Milwaukee Art Museum is set to announce the return of two stoneware jars by enslaved artist David Drake to his descendants. The museum subsequently repurchased one of the pieces for display, mirroring a 2025 agreement with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This move supports the family's efforts to reconnect with their heritage while allowing the public to view the work.
