As a former Beloiter, I would highly recommend visiting the museums on
the Beloit College campus in Beloit, Wisconsin (just down the road from
Milwaukee about an hour or so).

Particularly, I would visit the Logan Museum of Anthropology.  The
public spaces were renovated a few years ago.  As an unbiased graduate,
I can say that this is probably one of the premiere teaching
institutions (particularly for undergraduates in museum studies or
anthropology) in the country.

Beloit recently added a museum educator to their staff... you might ask
how that program is coming along.

Have a great time in Wisconsin!

In mid June myself (a museum person) and other, various, Idaho
educators
will be attending a program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (as opposed to
Milwaukee, Oregon.)  I am interested in the museums and other cultural
institutions of the area (the info I have pulled up from search
engines
is remarkably sketchy)--Special exhibits, "must-sees", etc.  But, I
would also welcome info on other "must see" or "must eat" of the
immediate region.  If anyone on the Museum-L is willing to offer
advice
or direction I would welcome it.  Thanks, Darcy
