MILWAUKEE — You can gain admission to dozens of southeast Wisconsin's finest museums for free or at a discounted rate with the return of "Museum Days," VISIT Milwaukee announced this week.
The campaign includes 30 museums across our area, and is designed to boost attendance and raise awareness of the museums. Museum Days runs from January 18th through the 28th.
“Our museums create a rich sense of identity and pride for our community while enhancing the quality of life for residents and providing a wonderful experience for our visitors," says Peggy Williams-Smith, president and CEO of VISIT Milwaukee. "We are always proud to invite visitors from around the world to explore these institutions and make them a regular part of their travels to Milwaukee.”
VISIT Milwaukee says that just last year, Museum Days boosted attendance for the Bucyrus Museum by more than three times over its usual levels. Museum Days also generated a whopping 73 percent of ticket sales for America's Black Holocaust Museum.
