Here’s the FAQ page for anybody who’s curious. The new Milwaukee public museum is going to look amazing! I wasn’t 100% on the design at first, but after attending a few meetings, I’m sold.

Really excited to see this completed in the coming years!

    The current museum is more than twice the size of the new building, which kind of bummed me out a little. It sounds like the new structure will be more efficient, though. The bulk of the collections at the current museum are used for research and are not on display but all those collections are now going to be visible from the exhibit floors so that the visitors can see them. I’m excited to see what’s happening, next.

      Yeah, I was a little sad when I heard that, but in the meetings they explained the reasons very well. You’re totally right, the new building will be much more efficient to both heat and cool, which will help keep the exhibits safe and preserved for decades.

      The event space and green space both look like they will be incredible and have wonderful views of the city and surrounding area. The little park they’ll have will be awesome, and they assured me that they will have plenty of benches and seating foe guests lol.
