Exhibit Opening: From Lake to Plate

Who are the people that bring you the fish that you eat? This exhibit features the work of two Wisconsin photographers who captured the portraits over the past fifty years of Wisconsin’s commercial fishermen, fish cutters, smokehouses, delivery drivers, and retail clerks. These images illustrate the evolving “foodways” of how fish are harvested from Lake Michigan, then processed, and eventually arrive on our plates.

Visit the Wisconsin Maritime Museum today through October 27, 2025 to explore the stories of the people who make the fish on our plates possible. Find more information about planning your visit on our website: https://www.wisconsinmaritime.org/visit/plan-your-visit/
