MILWAUKEE PUBLIC MUSEUM

A Message from Ellen Censky, Interim Museum President & CEO

Dear Friends,

In 1851—only three years after Wisconsin gained statehood—citizens of Wisconsin began amassing a natural history collection that would become the catalyst for our Milwaukee Public Museum. Those early collections were gathered by schoolchildren and their teachers, naturalists on Sunday hikes, and amateur archaeologists who traveled around the region and across the globe. I love this vision of the people of Milwaukee picking up the wonders of their world to share with other citizens—to teach and to learn.

The foresight of these early citizens means that today more than 550,000 people each year have their minds opened and expanded by MPM. Our 4 million plus collections—representing every county in our state, countries around the globe, our oceans, and our galaxy—serve as a vital record of life on our planet. By exploring these objects through a visit to the Museum, enjoying our engaging outreach programs, or conducting original research in our scientific laboratories, all of us can better understand where we come from and where we are going.

As we look to the future of this Museum—one of the oldest and leading natural history museums in our country—we are buoyed by our founders from another century who made so much possible. And, we are strengthened by YOU—our supporters today, who are preserving and building this wonderful Museum for all those who will come after you.

We invite you to review our annual reports to learn more about the impact you are making possible. Thank you for continuing a legacy of teaching and learning begun 167 years ago.

With gratitude,

Dr. Ellen Censky Interim Museum President & CEO
