- In the Milwaukee Revealed gallery, visitors will find a charmingly familiar urban streetscape set at the magical hour of dusk, featuring storefronts, buildings, and houses. But open a door, peer through a window, or press a button to reveal hidden details, historical stories, and interactive features just waiting to be discovered. The gallery not only takes visitors back in time, but also behind walls and under the surface of the here-and-now.
Considered the spiritual successor to the Streets of Old Milwaukee exhibit currently part of Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee Revealed gallery creates a whimsical and delightful visitor experience, evoking both nostalgia and surprise as visitors immerse themselves wholly into Milwaukee's many facets. Signature collections items like the penny-farthing bicycle and the one-of-a-kind Schloemer automobile will be on display in this gallery.
I'm so excited for the new museum. There will be things about the old museum that I'll miss, but I'm excited to see what this new one has in store for us. It will be a great addition to the city!
It's hard to imagine that even from 10 years ago, how much our downtown would change for the better with all the recent additions. Loved the old museum, and this new one looks like it will be even better. Thanks for the update, and keep up the great work!
Looks very cool!
I enjoyed seeing the new exhibit unfold. It seems like an insightful and dignified experience. I also feel concerned about the scrapping of older institutions. Yes, they are a reflection of their time. They may even feel outdated to some. When we reimagine history, we leave behind the direct evidence, the fingerprints, of the people that time period served. That includes the buildings and structures removed for the sake of progress. Fine examples are the loss of Pabst Building at 108 E. Wisconsin, or the former Lake Front Depot at 918 E. Wisconsin.
Very exciting changes coming! Thanks for all the hard work and creativity!
Y'all complain about not having enough room to display the current inventory...and yet the "new" museum will be smaller....
Also where are the meetings for the public to sit down and voice their opinions....
They "made room" by deciding to leave a lot of beloved/cherished exhibits behind, because, according to them, it would be too hard, impossible & expensive to move "The Streets..." to the new one 💔💔
Save the current Museum. It is historic. One of the best museums in the country. You're lying about the cost of saving it. Disgraceful.
