Every visit to the Milwaukee Public Museum is a new adventure! Explore the Ice Age in the Third Planet gallery, find a mastodon and saber-toothed cat among the glaciers, watch out for King Tut on his chariot in the Crossroads of Civilization exhibit, or interact with live butterflies as they flutter in the butterfly garden. Take a photo safari in Africa, snap a selfie with Granny on the Streets of Old Milwaukee, and find the hidden button to make the rattlesnake rattle! Stop by the Dome Theater where you can prepare for the upcoming eclipse and even blast off into space at a planetarium show. Don’t forget to tag MPM on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat to show your adventure!
