Milwaukee Public Museum

The Milwaukee Public Museum (soon to be known as the Nature & Culture Museum of Wisconsin) is a natural and human history museum in the Westown neighborhood of Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The museum was chartered in 1882 and opened to the public in 1884. It is a nonprofit organization operated by the Milwaukee Public Museum, Inc. The museum has three floors of exhibits and the first Dome Theater in Wisconsin in its current complex on West Wells St.

In May 2024, the museum broke ground on a new five-story facility at the corner of N 6th St and W McKinley Ave, in the neighborhood of Haymarket, to be completed in 2027. A year later, the museum announced that it was changing its name to Nature & Culture Museum of Wisconsin, while adopting a new visual identity. Provided by Wikipedia
