Museum staff share moments from Jewish history via Facebook Live. Tune in Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 2:00 PM for a Museum Moment.

The first weekend in June is dedicated to increasing Gun Violence Prevention. Safer at Home is a challenge for gun violence prevention. We will be talking with Anneliese Dickman, the Milwaukee program manager for the Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence, about the new issues that have emerged during the quarantine. 

Join Vince Tripi, Director of Education for Milwaukee Pride, in a discussion about the struggles facing LGBT+ folks during this time, and how you can still show your pride or allyship. Vince will also preview the history exhibit he's creating for next year's PrideFest Milwaukee on the fascinating queer community that emerged in Europe between the 1870s -1930s and was cut down by the Nazis.

Discover what is involved in the development of an exhibit, from deciding on a concept to selecting objects, design and opening. Members of Jewish Museum Milwaukee and the Jewish Museum of Maryland exhibit teams will come together to discuss some of the most popular exhibits of recent years shown in both venues.

Join us for this magical performance with magician David London, and curator of Inescapable: The Life and Legacy of Harry Houdini, as he takes us back in time to truly discover the world's first superstar.
