Ask Me! Desk Volunteer
What does the Ask Me! Desk volunteer do?
Located at a desk positioned at the top of the grand staircase on the first floor, the Ask Me! Desk volunteer interacts with visitors seeking information. Questions may range from the location of the lunch room or specific exhibits, to more in-depth questions. This is a great opportunity to engage with visitors, even if it is just to say “hello,” or “can I help you with anything today.”
Museum Studies Program
Established in 1963, the Museum Studies Program is a unique cooperative partnership between the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and MPM.
The goal of the program is to provide, in a museum environment, the basic scholarship and functional training needed to equip UW-Milwaukee graduate students with the skills necessary to assume professional entry-level positions in museums, galleries, archives, historical societies, and related institutions.
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!
