Milwaukee Public Museum seeks community feedback on new museum exhibits, events, experience

The Milwaukee Public Museum wants community feedback about the future museum's exhibits, events and the larger experience.

Along with the exhibit design group Thinc Design, the museum has launched a survey at MPM.edu/future-museum-survey. It seeks input from people across the state and will be open through Oct. 14.

"The results of this survey will influence how we bring ideas to life as we enter the next phase of our design process — focused on the interior of the building and its exhibits," MPM Chief Planning Officer Katie Sanders said in a statement.

The new museum at West McKinley Avenue and North Sixth Street is expected to open in 2026 and its exterior will be reminiscent of the geological formations in Mill Bluff State Park, which overlooks Interstate 90 near Camp Douglas, in central Wisconsin.

Groundbreaking is slated for late 2023.

More: Milwaukee Public Museum has been reaccredited. That's a key win in its efforts to raise money for a new building north of Fiserv Forum.
