Milwaukee Public Museum

This is the final full year to see Milwaukee Public Museum at 800 West Wells. The current building closes in 2027, taking with it a familiar museum landscape of dinosaurs, dioramas, a rainforest, live butterflies, the Streets of Old Milwaukee, European Village, and planetarium shows.The museum charges admission and is closed Tuesday. Some specimens and artifacts are already being removed for the move, so individual displays can change before the building closes. Visits are not time-limited during operating hours, though planetarium programs and other experiences follow their own schedules. More
