Your estate or planned gift to the Milwaukee Public Museum helps to protect and preserve collections, underwrites educational programs and scientific research, and assists in bringing special exhibitions to the Museum.
More than 500,000 visitors – including more than 140,000 students and children – benefit from MPM’s programs, events, and exhibits each year.
The Museum is happy to work with you to accomplish your estate planning goals. Gifts can be revocable or irrevocable and designated to our general operating fund or restricted to the endowment, project, or program of your choosing.
