A nearly 140-year icon in our community, the ne xt evolution of the Milwaukee Public Museum is on the horizon. Join us dur ing our virtual February Program Meeting to hear from Ellen Censky, TEMPO m ember and CEO of the MPM, along with Katie Sanders, Chief Planning Officer for MPM, about the vision of the new museum. Its new design and experience will reflect the intersection of nature and culture, bringing these two ver y integrated and important elements together in a location that will serve as a gateway to our City.
The first hour of thi s program will focus on the vision and process being used to bring this new museum to fruition. The last 30 minutes will be an interactive focus group where Katie will seek input from our TEMPO member stakeholder group. To ma ke this session as effective as possible, we’re asking for members to regis ter for these two sessions separately based on your availability to attend either just the first half or both aspects of the program. Please note your registration type in the registration form so we can get an accurate count for the focus group portion.
