Interesting, informative, enriching.
I hadn’t been in ages, brought my kid for the traveling exhibit, Jews In Space, which was awesome beyond my expectations. Just a fantastic mix of AV, cool artifacts, and insightful supplemental / explanatory material. Really wonderful.
I suggest leaving enough time to visit the general collections on local Jewish community history separately from any additional special exhibit that might be there, as the museum itself has a real bounty of fascinating stuff, quite a bit beyond what I expect from a typical local ethnic museums. (Which are always nice, it’s just that this one is a bit more elaborate.) It’s nice to see just one or the other, take a break & grab a bite to eat in the neighborhood, and come back. Or better yet, make 2 days of it as they’re not open late.
I’d definitely recommend a membership. This museum is great for people of any ethnic background, and a definite must see for anyone interested in Milwaukee, immigration, or history buffs in general. I wish I could have brought my older relatives here and seen their reactions & additional family stories around so many of the exhibits. Homeschoolers should definitely make it a regular part of their history & culture studies. The collections are so varied and beautifully presented, the layout gives a flow that really draws you in.
They don’t have quite the elaborate gift shop I tend to associate with museums, mostly just a nice selection of books. Overall, it’s an outstanding and uplifting visit. Highly...

This museum is a hidden gem on the east side of Milwaukee. It's small but punches way above its weight.
The permanent exhibit mostly centers around how the Jewish people came to Milwaukee in the early years. You then wind your way through a time-line that takes you through how Jews contributed to the growth of Milwaukee.
The tough part is reading about the holocaust. The exhibit is scary, and for good reason. We should never forget.
The museum then has a traveling exhibit that they curate. This exhibit is in the front of the building as you walk in. They always do a good job to make sure this exhibit is relevant to what's happening in real life.
It's depressing that you have to be buzzed in, as it's a secure building. It's cheap to get tickets. Only 9 bucks!
Check out this museum. It's a...

If it weren't for a special exhibit they were hosting, I might have opted for one of the larger museums. I am so glad I went here! We had time to go through the special exhibit AND the regular exhibit and didn't have to fight a crowd of baby strollers either. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon activity after a walk in the park. Younger kids may not find it as entertaining as children's museums, but I think mature 3rd/ 4th grade students and older would be very interested. You would probably want to call before bringing a large group, but my favorite piece was the 1930's Girlscout's uniform. Any scout or troup might...
