On Monday, April 8, Milwaukee will see its biggest solar eclipse in 70 years!
MPM is your resource for a safe viewing experience. Visit us or one of the below safe-viewing locations as the moon covers approximately 90% of the sun, clear skies permitting! We’ll have telescopes with special filters as well as eclipse glasses for $2 each (NOTE: Our eclipse viewing glasses are sold out). Cross your fingers for clear skies!
Educational activities will be available in the event of inclement or cloudy weather.
