I’ve been visiting the Jewish Museum for about a year and a half and usually make a trip of it by coming in from Chicago and exploring other parts of Milwaukee as well. The museum is always informative and I learn something new each time I go. It’s a great place to visit and well worth the trip.

I felt profiled and uncomfortable throughout my entire visit -- short though it was. I personally wouldn't recommend returning to this establishment in large part because of the security guard who was on duty this particular morning.

I’ve been visiting the Jewish Museum for about a year and a half now. I drive in from Chicago and add other activities to take advantage of my time in Milwaukee. I always learned so much from the Jewish Museum, it’s a great place.

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 Milwaukee icon.

A wonderful, educational exhibit, "Brother Can You Spare a Dime." It was the last day so I'm glad I got there. I also checked out the Museum's ongoing exhibit again that depicts the Jewish experience in Milwaukee as well as across the globe. Of course it's an indescribably sad story, but a story that must be told now and forever. Everyone should experience the exhibit. It's so informative and arranged in sections of the complete story. Every facet of Jewish life is laid out before your eyes with photos and artifacts and stories. It's a wonderful museum. Milwaukee is fortunate to have this.
