Welcome to Milwaukee Public Museum’s 2022 Summer Connections Program!
The mission of the Milwaukee Public Museum is to inspire curiosity, excite minds, and increase desire to preserve and protect our world’s natural and cultural diversity. The goal of Summer Connections is to connect our community with our mission, connect youth with their natural world, and connect families through learning.
Summer Connections @ MPM is a three-part program, which includes:
- An MPM outreach program at your site
- A field trip with admission to Summer Connections Day at MPM
- A one-year Family Membership to return to MPM as often as you would like!
To learn more about the Summer Connections program, please contact Erin Goff, Public Programs Coordinator at goffe@mpm.edu.
