For Students
On Wisconsin! Performance and Museum Tour
Grades 3–5 | Fri, Oct 19 | 9:30–11:30 AM
One day only—the On Wisconsin! program is back! Students will see Wisconsin history come to life during an interactive performance by storyteller/performer Bob Kann and in works of art from the Museum’s Collection. This program is directly connected to state history studies and includes everything from artifacts and folk art to Wisconsin legends such as Harry Houdini, and weird-but-true inventions (ice cream sundaes, anyone?). Register online or call 414-224-3842.


For Teachers
Teachers Night
All grades/subjects | Thurs, Oct 18 | 5–7 PM
Treat yourself to a free evening at the Museum just for teachers. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Kohl’s Education Center, get tips from Museum educators, and network with colleagues at a welcome reception. Registration is required: Email teachers@mam.org with your name, school, grade, subject, and phone number.


Free Admission
