We've been having an amazing summer connecting with our community at local events with the Wonder Wagon! 🚐✨

The Wonder Wagon brings hands-on play and learning beyond the Museum walls, giving us the chance to connect with families all around Milwaukee. We’ve loved meeting new faces, getting little hands busy and bringing a little bit of Museum magic wherever we go! 🫧

Another great Community Access Day! 💙

Families made friendship bracelets with MHS Health and got creative making DIY sensory rain sticks with our Artist in Residence. Then, of course, we had to jam out together! 🎶

A big thank you to Northwestern Mutual for sponsoring Community Access Day and helping make days like this possible.
