MILWAUKEE (AP) – Kohl’s Department Stores is donating another $2.7 million to the Milwaukee Art Museum.

It’s to continue the Kohl’s Art Generation program and create new programs for kids and families. It’s the largest gift to an education initiative in the museum’s history.

The Menomonee Falls-based company had contributed $1 million for the program in 2008.

The Art Generation program is geared toward kids and families and allows kids to create work that is featured at the museum.
