This place was on my list to visit the next time we were in town. We popped in on a Saturday…read moremorning and it turned out there was no charge since they only had the beer exhibit on the first floor. Normally $8. You can park free on the street in front on Saturdays. The building itself is stunning and worth it. The vaults are incredible. The beer exhibit is very detailed and very informative. I am not sure what would normally be on the second floor but they said there was a wedding later that day - there are many weddings here on Saturdays. I was hoping for more.

Love, love, love this spot! If you want to learn more about Milwaukee County history, this is the…read moreplace to go. They have thoughtfully curated exhibits that are periodically changed. The main exhibit might be up for a 2-3 years and then there's a new neighborhood exhibit series that is set to change up more frequently. I visited my first time during Milwaukee Museum week so admission was FREE. But I would pay full admission ($8) if you really want a deep dive into Milwaukee. When I dropped in, the beer exhibit was up so everything displayed related to Milwaukees's beer culture and history. It was FASCINATING. There's also an actual bank vault inside the building that was used in the filming of the movie, Public Enemies, with Johnny Deep. You can walk inside the vault. The space is also worth mentioning - lots of marble. It's just a fun place to escape to. I recommend you plan to spend at least two hours here if you want to really read all the information on display and see all the artifacts. Parking might be tricky - street parking is the way to go if you can find a spot.

We drove from Madison to Racine for the glass exhibit. It was our first time visiting Racine and…read moreRAM (Racine Art Museum). Plenty of parking and there was a big garden with a few sculptures. Admission is free and there were lots of children's art work in the hallway. The actually glass exhibit was very small like inside a small room with less than 10 pieces of glasswork. Had to say that we weren't impressed especially the almost 2 hours drive. However, if you live in Racine, it may be worth to swing by.

Our neighbor had a couple paintings in the annual Watercolor exhibit so we made the trek to Racine…read moreto check it out. First we went to the downtown location of RAM not knowing there were two locations. After paying for parking and to enter that museum we found out that watercolors were at this sister location. (We did tour the main museum and really enjoyed the special Easter peep contest entries - lots of fun). We eventually made it back out of downtown to this location with free admission and free parking. We enjoyed the watercolor exhibit itself - some great works but the gallery and facility was a bit underwhelming and small but for the price...

A good small art museum on the campus of Marquette University. Visited for the first time recently…read moreand was impressed with the special exhibit of photographs by Bill Tennessen, who documented the African American experience in Milwaukee, some events that I swear I attended. Dutch Masters and religious iconography represented, and a few outstanding representations of such; but Milwaukee Art Museum is still showing the Dutch Masters (Bader) exhibition, and the Haggerty felt slightly underwhelming by recent comparison. I love the story of the Keith Haring visit - faculty, staff and students got to paint in the characters, and the visit was well documented by Milwaukee media. Incredible showpiece upon entry. The small little museum that could! We visited the Saint Joan of Arc Chapel on the same day, check it out, too.

The collection is very small, but it does have some interesting pieces. I think I might have enjoyed the architectures as much or more than the collection. It is probably not easy to visit the museum when the university is in session, as there probably won't be easy street parking.

I also enjoy how the exhibits change regularly. It seems whenever I pop in there is something new to check out. The only part of the museum that I haven't been in yet is the archives.

They did an excellent job with their storytelling for each exhibit, and you can tell how thoughtful they are in crafting each detail.

Highly recommend anyone to visit here!

I honestly had no idea what to expect when I signed up to do this... had heard that it was a…read more"haunted" tour. Heard that it was a "Gothic" tour. Also heard that it was an "historical" tour. It was all of those and more! It started raining about an hour before we were supposed to meet, and was considering skipping out. I am SO glad that I made the decision to join the group. Rain or shine, good weather or inclement, I would recommend Gothic Milwaukee tours to anyone and everyone. Anna's love for history and Milwaukee, shine through her as she regales her followers with stories of fame and fortune, ballrooms and back allies. She. Is. A. HOOT!! I got goosebumps more than a few times, listening to her tell stories about what has happened behind Milwaukee's beautiful facade. All said and done it's about 90 minutes, and approximately 3 miles of walking. The terrain is easy, it's all on city sidewalks. And Anna does a fantastic job of attracting your eyes to all the amazing things that downtown Milwaukee has to offer. If you like ghost stories you need to book a tour with Gothic Milwaukee. If your love is history... Anna is your girl. If walking around and learning about architecture and cool "fun facts" about where all the businessman went for their lunch breaks (hint: it wasn't a soda shop), then you need to walk this walk! Just found out that Gothic Milwaukee also has self guided walking tours of Milwaukee in card form!! I am TOTALLY getting these for everyone for Christmas! What a great way to show people how great Milwaukee is AND get props for giving the coolest gift of the year!! I am happy. Thank you, Anna.

First and foremost, the tour guide Anna is phenomenal. Who knows if the stories are true (although doing some quick google research, all the stories seem to pan out!) She is very friendly, a great story teller, and really...really funny. The walking was light, with plenty of stops along the tour. Great stories about people you've heard about in Milwaukee, and some you haven't. The stories about the Pfister Hotel were really really interesting. This tour is definitely worth $10...and I'm looking forward to the Holiday tour as well.
