Museum Days

January 22 - February 1, 2026

When the winter chill sets in, Milwaukee turns up the wonder! From January 22 to February 1, 2026, Museum Days invites locals and visitors alike to unlock the city’s cultural treasures, all at special admission prices.

Step out of the cold and into a world of discovery: wander through grand galleries filled with mesmerizing art, stand nose-to-nose with a roaring T. rex or lose yourself in the shimmer of Great Lakes history. Feel the pulse of creativity at contemporary art spaces, gaze up at the stars in planetariums and spark your curiosity at hands-on science exhibits that make learning feel like play. Museum Days is your all-access pass to curiosity, creativity and connection. Warm up with family-friendly adventures, date-day discoveries or solo inspiration, all while supporting the city’s incredible collection of museums.

This January, trade your winter blues for Milwaukee hues and experience the magic that only Museum Days can bring.
