“It’s important not to lose sight of the many generations that have been served in the past by the museum, but also the many generations that will be served in the future.' - Katie Sanders, MPM Chief Planning Officer

Today I celebrated the future Milwaukee Public Museum with leaders, partners and the kids who will enjoy this new cultural asset in our community.

Milwaukee County is investing in the future museum as it will have a generational impact on Wisconsin that'll benefit us for years to come.

“To the student groups who are here today, we are building this Future Museum for you to find wonder that will last a lifetime, and we are honored to give it to you.”

– MPM President & CEO Dr. Ellen Censky

'This is for every child in Milwaukee County and the surrounding counties who will visit this new museum in the next 100 years.'

“I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to build!”

– David C. Crowley

'We are growing Milwaukee. We are building a city that will attract more investments, more tourists, more jobs, more people and more dreams. And the Future Museum—right in the heart of downtown Milwaukee—is a major driver in that growth.'

– Mayor Cavalier Johnson

'Some of the people who have been so gracious in helping us get to this day are Wisconsin’s tribal nations. We are honored to have with us today, Mark Denning, a member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin to offer a blessing on this land and our new home.'

– Dr. Ellen Censky

'Our Future Museum is for everyone.'

It's made possible by those 'who have participated in surveys, focus groups, interviews, and workshops... and reflects the most up-to-date science and the stories of our people.'

– MPM President & CEO Dr. Ellen Censky

It’s a special day: We’re excited to officially break ground on the Future Museum site and begin construction on our new home! The weather didn’t cooperate, but we’re still marking this 'mammoth” moment in MPM’s history at a special indoor ceremony! Follow along later today!
