Join us on May 31st for a community-led protest demanding transparency, accountability, and inclusion in the redevelopment of the Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM). The proposed new museum is moving forward with $85 million in public funds, yet there’s been no public oversight, no clear answers about where the money is going, and no meaningful community input, especially from Milwaukee’s residents. Meanwhile, beloved exhibits like the Streets of Old Milwaukee and the Native American dioramas are being removed or discarded, with little regard for the cultural and educational value they’ve held for generations.
This isn’t just about exhibits, it’s about who has the right to shape our city’s memory and future. The new museum project is shifting away from public stewardship and into the hands of private interests, erasing community access and influence. We’re calling on concerned residents, educators, parents, artists, historians, and everyday Milwaukeeans to stand with us. If you believe in public accountability, REAL cultural equity, and keeping history in the hands of the people, this is your fight too. Register now to join the protest on May 31st and help us demand a museum that truly serves the people.
