12 Wisconsin Museums To Visit For Free When You Need An Indoor Escape

One free museum in Wisconsin stays open 24 hours a day. It sits inside an airport, so you could explore aviation history at 3 a.m. if the mood strikes. That unusual fact sent me hunting for more free indoor spots, and the list got weird fast. One former library holds a mummy, and one campus museum has a dark room where rocks glow like tiny party lights.
