The exhibit consists of 12 colorful murals portraying a significant periods in brewing’s illustrious 6,000-year history.
2010 marks the 75th anniversary of the paintings, which were commissioned by the Brewing Industry Historical Committee and painted by Chicago artist Jean Allen. They were unveiled in 1935 at the Master Brewers Association of America convention, and have since been part of the fermentation industries exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and on display at the Siebel Institute of Technology.
When the Siebel Institute closed, the artwork was given to the Museum of Beer & Brewing. Learn more about the paintings here.
