I can't even count how many times I have been to the Milwaukee Public Museum. I have so much fun watching my kids and nieces & nephews reaction to some of the exhibits. The butterfly exhibit is really neat.

I have been visiting that museum for over 60 years since I was a child and it has only gone through one change and it's called improvement. The educational challenges presented at our museum are absolutely outstanding particularly for the children, as well as, the adults.
