The current Milwaukee Public Museum facility, which has been a prominent part of the city since 1962, will soon be gone. The institution will close its current building and reinvent itself in a new, purpose-built location.
The Future of the Milwaukee Public Museum's Current Site
The existing building that houses the Milwaukee Public Museum is set to be closed as the museum prepares for a significant relocation. This move marks a new era for the museum, which is not disappearing but rather transforming its physical presence.
- Closure: The facility that has served as the Milwaukee Public Museum's home for many decades will be closed permanently.
- Relocation: The museum will be moving to a new, state-of-the-art building. This new site, which is currently under construction, is located near the Fiserv Forum.
- Timeline: The transition to the new facility is projected to be completed by 2027. Visitors still have a few years to experience the museum in its long-standing location before the move.
This strategic relocation aims to provide an enhanced experience for future visitors, allowing the Milwaukee Public Museum to continue its mission in a revitalized setting.
