A Walk Through the Milwaukee Public Museum

Filmed on Sunday January 12, 2020.
A friend and I visited the Milwaukee Public Museum, and have been there numerous times before, with my earliest memories around when I was in 1st grade. Almost all of the exhibits of the three floors have been covered in this video. You may notice I take most interest in the beautiful and highly detailed full size dioramas and also the miniature dioramas. Groundbreaking for constructing a new building to house the museum will start on 2022 and open in 2026. It is said that exhibit space of the current building will be cut in half for the new building. It will be "on the northeast corner of Sixth and McKinley Streets in downtown Milwaukee, adjacent to the Deer District", according to news articles. The Betty Brinn Children's Museum will be a part of the same building. The current building suffers bad roof leaks, leaky pipes, a leaky basement and other issues, and it's said it is beyond repair. I always loved the maze-like layout with the winding, dark corridors that makes the wonderful experience of being there. I do admit some of the exhibits have dated and/or worn out elements. I am all for updating the museum and sprucing up for a new generation but am highly concerned what this new building will bring. So enjoy this video of the Milwaukee Public Museum as it is now, all in its pre-COVID-19 Glory!
