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. 

The Early Learning resource pages are designed for our youngest explorers.

The resources gathered here are developed with a focus on the PreK-K student.

Thanks to the efforts of two scientists, this tiny, colorfully spotted lizard finally has a name. But its future may not be as bright as its scales.
