Milwaukee’s Museum Site Gets a Major Makeover | Milwaukee News

Milwaukee’s iconic Public Museum is packing up and moving next year to a brand-new home — but the old site at 800 W. Wells St. is being eyed for a massive urban transformation. With 3.7 acres and a 400,000-square-foot footprint, developers are invited to reimagine the space — possibly with 555 housing units, hotels, medical offices, shops, or even green space. The historic complex, which includes the original museum, an addition, a former science building, and the dome theater, offers a unique puzzle for creative architects and planners. Proposals are due by October 12th — it’s your chance to reshape one of Milwaukee’s most prominent downtown landmarks.
