Volcanoes - 3D Film
Earth is a planet born of fire. For billions of years, volcanoes have helped create the world we know. With over 500 active volcanoes, the Earth is bursting at the seams with these forces of mass construction. The story of volcanoes is the story of the planet’s creation, and the story of us.
With intrepid explorer Carsten Peter, dodge boulders at the edge of an active volcano in Indonesia, descend to a lava lake in Vanuatu, and visit the incredible mineral deposit fields in Ethiopia. Travel across the globe to see the archaeological ghost town of Pompeii and witness the devastating effects of the recent Kilauea eruption in Hawaii. Audiences will be on the edge of their seats as they discover molten worlds and exploding craters in this adrenaline-filled, immersive experience!
Hit the Streets with Granny!
Construction is finishing up and the Streets of Old Milwaukee will be opening on Friday, December 11. In the meantime, Granny’s hitting the streets and visiting some of her favorite Streets’ shops in present-day Milwaukee.
DataBlitz
Welcome to MPM’s DataBlitz!
The DataBlitz is an event where you, the museum visitor, get to help us by transcribing scientific data from our collections. Like MPM's BioBlitzes, we want to see how many natural history specimen records can be transcribed in a single day. Unlike the BioBlitz, however, where the public comes to see scientists in action, we are inviting you to do the action!
This event will take place on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 11:00am-3:00pm.
Butterflies & Insects: Virtual Programs & Digital Resources
Butterflies and insects are not only beautiful and interesting, but they are incredibly important!
Our virtual insect and butterfly resources assist students and their teachers in exploring the way many insects contribute to the well being of humans, animals, plants, and the planet itself.
