Current Exhibits

The Milwaukee County Historical Center will be open during the last phase of restoration beginning in December 2009 and lasting until about August 2010. During Phase IV, the atrium's ornamental plaster ceiling, along with that of the east and west mezzanines will be restored, and a new HVAC system will be installed to the rest of the building.

During this period, the Historical Society will not have an exhibit. However, the Museum Shop and the Harry H. Anderson Research Library will be open.

Traveling Exhibits
As part of the Milwaukee County Historical Society staff’s efforts to continue a visible presence in the Milwaukee community while the headquarters is undergoing restoration, these exhibitions were installed in local venues. Please check with the sites for public hours.
