Hehe! So funny!
Currently on my depression ark 🔥🔥🙏🙏
My birthday 🎉🎂
Amazing carvings. My father left behind 3 Netsuke which appear to be carved from ivory. They appear to be quite old, the best we can figure he obtained them about 1993 from an estate sale, there is no documentation. I live in California which has strict regulations regarding the ownership of ivory. I am sympathetic to the laws to end the killing of elephants for the harvest of ivory while at the same time appreciate the historical and artistic relevance of these carvings. I would entertain the idea of donating them to a museum or other reputable organization however in not sure I can legally give the away or sell them. It’s kind of like if they for some reason outlawed the ownership of marble would we destroy Michael Angelo’s sculpture of David.
You should know that 8 times out of ten people assume an object is ivory from elephants when it quite possibly is from mastodon, or mammoth, both legal, or warthog, or walrus tusk, and tagua nut is basically an exact copy of ivory but from a tree. Mammoth and mastodon ivory have crossed hatch micro lines in the cream, while elephant has singular lines. Tagua has no growth lines. I am a member of a netsuke group on FB, there are people all the time asking about objects, what they are made of, and where they are from and when they were made. 99% of the time the answer is tourist trade, worthless to any netsuke collector. You might consider taking great photos and posting them in a group that can identify them and apply a worth value.
My predecessors ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats!
Sir do u know if a Army from Abba has arrived!
Will the streets of old Milwaukee or the European Village return? Those were a couple of my family's favorite exhibits in the old museum. Especially my father's favorite as he grew up in old Milwaukee.
Please bring the streets back when the museum moves.
js went here today
I'm not American American but when I was born and for my my birthday my grandmother always gave me a pair of moccasins. The shop she bought from was in Wells Maine. Over 40 years later the store is still there.💜
Fascinating...
You're destroying Milwaukee's heritage with your plans for the new museum. We do not support it!
I enjoyed seeing the new exhibit unfold. It seems like an insightful and dignified experience. I also feel concerned about the scrapping of older institutions. Yes, they are a reflection of their time. They may even feel outdated to some. When we reimagine history, we leave behind the direct evidence, the fingerprints, of the people that time period served. That includes the buildings and structures removed for the sake of progress. Fine examples are the loss of Pabst Building at 108 E. Wisconsin, or the former Lake Front Depot at 918 E. Wisconsin.
Save the current Museum. It is historic. One of the best museums in the country. You're lying about the cost of saving it. Disgraceful.
Excellent overview thank you
He's also on display at the Milwaukee museum in the African scene. After he died in 1943, they stuffed him and put him in the display.
Wish they’d prioritize classical German-Esque Architecture over this goofy “creative risk”, excuse for an inexpensive block building. Just imagine if the Milwaukee Exposition Building was rebuilt instead, it’d become a civil landmark protected well into the future, this building will be torn down in 60 years tops
How can he be so sure they are from Mars?
Why did he call mars mother planet? Earth is our mother planet.
The old lady in the rocking chair scared me so much as a kid. Still does 15 years later. Lol
Awesome simple easy to digest and straight to the point educational content, thank you from the UK
I knew it didn't come from bats..
Thank you MpM for capturing the moment I took my father to the Museum for the first time. He passed away yesterday and I was hoping I could find this video. Thats us in the opening shot. He absolutely loved going there. I miss you Dad.
Dude! You changed my life man. Thank you forever. - Boston
This is a museum? Looks like a doctors office in Star Wars
I wonder what’s going to happen to the old Milwaukee Public Museum
So cool and cringey at the same time. I’m not sure I could take more than five seconds before swatting it.
Pilamaya, thank you. Happy Indigenous People's Day! 🖤❤️💛🤍
Such awesome narration! Perfect message, I love this video:)
Y'all complain about not having enough room to display the current inventory...and yet the "new" museum will be smaller.... Also where are the meetings for the public to sit down and voice their opinions....
They "made room" by deciding to leave a lot of beloved/cherished exhibits behind, because, according to them, it would be too hard, impossible & expensive to move "The Streets..." to the new one 💔💔
Beautiful work. I wish every country could be able and would be willing to finance this gathering of information for the public.
Like dang can u just get that
Bro I just hate this videos the sun is the biggest star are u done do u know there s no star bigger then the sun
Wow! Very interesting. And the host is very knowledgeable and personable. Why haven’t there been more likes? And why is this the first comment?
We put one of those bagged pickles from 7-11 in the tree
I still find it incredibly difficult to see how an 8 mile wide asteroid that left maybe a 100 mile wide crater caused so much devastation on a planet with a 33,000 mile circumference that it made an entire species go instinct I don’t care how fast it was moving it’s just too small.
It wasn't the asteroid that did it sure it did make a big explosion though but most of the power went In to the planet and made a giant earthquake the next part is a little weird but just listen so basically after that a giant cloud came around and it started raining fire so that's how the flying reptile was wiped out and it killed probably alot of the dinosaurs after that there were so little dinosaurs left they either starved or died from the giant amount of heat
Be interested what caused jim crow
My 25th birthday is on the 4th!!!!!!!
But, what is going to happen to the Streets of Old Milwaukee?!?

There was a video about this last month
Very informative and great presentation!
Nice, Bob! It was good meeting you.
These feathered dinosaurs that have been mentioned in many media are pretty cool.
The building looks terrible. We can still stop this ugly thing from being built, it looks like a pile of poo. After listening to the architects I don’t think they have the right vision for Milwaukee.
Very exciting changes coming! Thanks for all the hard work and creativity!
It's hard to imagine that even from 10 years ago, how much our downtown would change for the better with all the recent additions. Loved the old museum, and this new one looks like it will be even better. Thanks for the update, and keep up the great work!
I'm so excited for the new museum. There will be things about the old museum that I'll miss, but I'm excited to see what this new one has in store for us. It will be a great addition to the city!
It seems like the wonderful museum design team has doubled down on the content that people, at most, tolerate. I worked at the MPM for about a year and a half on the exhibit floors, and from all the guest interactions I'd experienced, I genuinely cannot imagine people earnestly asking to replace historical turn-of-the-century Milwaukee with contemporary displays about plumbing, worms, urban gardens, and beer. The exhibits currently on display that are *never* asked about by guests nor looked forward to were the ones in regards to contemporary issues and ecology. Exploring life on Earth was, and still is, dry, save for the Butterfly Wing, and Global Kitchen was a failure, just to name a few. This is baffling to me. From my experiences, it really seems to me that people want to escape reality at the museum, not to be hit with the contemporary world they're trying to take a break from. And if guests do want to go learn about ecology? Go to Discovery World, the Urban Ecology Center, the Schlitz Audubon, you name it, the market has already been cornered-and presented in a more unique and interactive way than this. Given the resources, the artifacts, and the history thay MPM *could* display in recreating the Streets of Old Milwaukee, this seems wildly underwhelming and unremarkable. I want to love this museum, but it really feels like its been a consistent sacrifice of the things people come back to see in order to implement things that are either done better elsewhere, or really haven't wowed in the past.
Looks very cool!
When they first purposed building a new museum they reported that in the current structure it was only possible to display a small percentage of all the artifacts in the museum's actual collection and indicated that most of the material was hidden away for years and seldomly if ever on display to the public. They promised that when this new museum was finally constructed that first and foremost it would offer far more space than the existing building and that would allow them to have a far greater amount of artifacts on permanent display than ever before possible in the museum's entire history. What happened to that promise? The new museum looks to be a pathetic mess in an unsightly structure that I can honestly say, I could never support or visit ever again. Very sad!
