Dating to 1895 and depicting "Venus instructing Cupid," the Northwood Cameo Plaque is unique. Although George Woodall is considered the greatest carver of English cameo glass, John Northwood was one of the first to carve this type of glass and is known to have made only seven works on cameo glass. He sparked a period of Greco-Roman recreations on glass and revitalized British interest in Greco-Roman glass works.

What is a Nickelodeon Volunteer?
The Streets of Old Milwaukee was created as a nostalgic look back at our city as it was from the 1880s through the early 1910s. The Nickelodeon, located in the Streets exhibit, is a replica of a 1900 theater called Pastimes. Volunteers run selected silent films from the era and share information about the beginnings of the film industry.
This exhibit created one of the first walk-through dioramas in the world, transporting the visitor back to a fall evening in Milwaukee at the turn of the 20th century. It was an immediate hit and continues to be the most visited spot in the Museum. In honor of the Streets 50th anniversary, the exhibit was reimagined by further incorporating themed storytelling and a heightened sensory experience to give the visitor a different perspective on every visit.
