Deck the Streets and Village at Milwaukee Public Museum

Step back in time this holiday season at Milwaukee Public Museum's festive seasonal display. The Streets of Old Milwaukee and European Village come alive with Victorian-era holiday charm—think wreaths, garlands, ribbons, and bells adorning the storefronts while traditional Christmas carols fill the air. It's a wonderful way to experience how families celebrated the holidays in centuries past, all while staying warm indoors. The European Village section adds an international flair, showcasing holiday decorations and traditions from various European cultures. This special display is included with regular museum admission, making it an affordable outing for families looking for some seasonal spirit. The museum is open during regular hours (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), so you can fit a visit into your family's schedule. Since this marks the museum's final holiday celebrations in its current building, it's a special chance to create memories in a beloved local space.
