Our no admission promise
Our philosophy focuses on building ongoing and meaningful relationships with our visitors. Our entrance fees are actually low cost memberships that allow unlimited access to the museum for a full year. We’re proud to offer these memberships at a cost that is lower than the price of single-day admission charged at many other museums in Wisconsin.
It’s that simple
Pay a one-time member fee for one person and visit the museum as much as you want, whenever you want, for one full year. Additional levels of membership allow you further benefits. The new MOWA is a place that you will want to visit often, with changing exhibitions and a variety of programs and studios for every level of interest.
