January and February in Wisconsin. It’s cold. It’s boring. Have we mentioned it’s cold? Well, if you’re feeling the winter blues like we are right now, perhaps you’ll be happy to learn another year of Museum Days is just around the corner.
Yes, from January 22 through February 1, a total of 25 museums all around Milwaukee and as far away as Sheboygan, Racine, and Waukesha will offer discounts of 25%, 20%, and 15%. Beyond that savings, many participating museums are even waiving admission fees altogether during 2026 Museum Days.
Check below for more details on affiliated events, participating museums, and discounted rates. All descriptions are courtesy of the 2026 Museum Days page on Visit Milwaukee’s website, which can also be consulted to book visits and to get more information about ongoing exhibitions.
