Milwaukee Public Museum
Founded 1882, the Milwaukee Public Museum, one of the largest natural history museums in the United States, is an intersection of human history and natural science. We educate, explore, discover and preserve the world and its people. The Museum hosts over 700,000 visitors per year and is conveniently located in downtown Milwaukee, just minutes from the interstate. From its modest beginnings in 1882, the Milwaukee Public Museum currently houses over 5 million specimens. Permanent exhibits are contained in three and a half floors of exhibit area, with additional space for traveling and temporary exhibits. Tour the Museum’s 150,000 square feet of exhibit space to visit Africa, Asia, Europe, the Arctic, South and Middle America, the Pacific Islands and a Costa Rican Rainforest. http://www.mpm.edu
