Event Details

Many lifelong Milwaukee residents remember the days when the Milwaukee Public Museum shared space with the library in the Central Library building on Wisconsin Avenue. Opened in 1898, the building, formerly known as the Library and Museum building, served as home to both institutions until the 1960s when the museum moved across Wells Street to its current home. A free program and tour of when the library and museum shared space will feature historic photos of old museum exhibits. The tour will include examples of how the library currently uses space formerly occupied by the museum. Seating is limited. Registration is required online or by calling (414) 286-3011. Street parking is free on Saturday, but time limits apply. Loos Room Program: 2-2:30 p.m. Building Tour: 2:30-4 p.m.
