The Milwaukee Public Museum features 16,000 feet of exhibition space in which to host temporary traveling exhibitions.
Survival of the Slowest
Slow down, or you might miss MPM’s newest traveling exhibit, Survival of the Slowest, from Little Ray’s Nature Centres.
At this live-animal exhibit, visitors will discover often-disregarded species that have used their disadvantages to help them survive – and even thrive – in a world where large, strong, and fast animals are often the top of the foodchain.
