New public museum on track to open in 2027

The new Milwaukee Public Museum is on track to open to the public in the first half of 2027, the museum’s president said. On Thursday, MPM President and CEO Ellen Censky during a tour of the museum’s first floor said construction is expected to conclude in the second quarter. A specific date hasn’t been announced yet. To finish off the new building, located on the corner of McKinley Avenue and Sixth Street, builders are drywalling the remaining curves on the first floor of the main atrium, polishing the concrete flooring until it resembles Milwaukee’s three rivers and installing model fish to finish off the design’s nod to the city’s indigenous and freshwater roots.
