The upcoming Milwaukee Public Museum will celebrate its home state of Wisconsin with a permanent gallery dedicated to the region.
Called Wisconsin Journey, the gallery will “highlight Wisconsin’s natural history, geography and culture.” It will consist of six areas: Driftless, Prairie, Apostle Islands, the Northwoods, the Great Lakes and the Door Peninsula, exploring the state’s different regions.
Exhibits will include an immersive experience where visitors can learn about the state’s lead mining history, as well as a tactile map of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers and an exhibit exploring the Wisconsin Dells.
“The Wisconsin Journey gallery will take visitors to six distinct areas of the state, each with its own subset of exhibits,” said a statement from the museum.
“Visitors will get a look at the wealth of wonders the state of Wisconsin offers and its unique and dynamic natural and cultural landscapes. Throughout the gallery, visitors will experience the rich, diverse Indigenous cultures and histories that have shaped the collective knowledge and understanding of the state.”
