Thank you to all who helped make the Milwaukee Public Museum’s 39th and final gala, Legacy: Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future, an unforgettable evening.

On Saturday, May 16, 2026, supporters, partners, and friends of MPM gathered throughout the Museum for one final gala celebration in our current home. Together, we honored decades of wonder, discovery, and inspiration while celebrating the people, spaces, and stories that have shaped the Museum’s legacy.

From dining among iconic exhibits to enjoying chef-curated menus inspired by the Museum itself, the evening was a truly special tribute to MPM’s history and an exciting toast to the future Nature & Culture Museum of Wisconsin.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, supported, sponsored, volunteered, and helped bring this remarkable fundraiser to life. Your generosity and partnership help ensure that the Museum continues to inspire curiosity and learning for generations to come.
