The best museums Wisconsin

Built with stones extracted from the quarries on the island of Madeline, this former bank houses a museum dedicated to the history of the region.

Collection of objects related to the history of the region and the island, and wooden house dating back to 1930.

Inside the Door County Library is a small local museum with permanent exhibits of Wisconsin artists and temporary exhibitions of local artists. Paintings and photographs can be admired. One collection highlights the work of Gerhard Miller, arguably the most influential artist in the Door County area, who passed away in 2003. The museum paid tribute to him by borrowing his name. The Miller Art Museum is not an obligatory stopover during a stay in the region, but it allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture.

There are three marine museums in Door County: one in Sturgeon Bay, open year-round; one in Gills Rock, open May to October; and one in the Cana Island Lighthouse. Sturgeon Bay is the most complete, organized in several rooms, each presenting a facet of the maritime history of the region: the engine room, the marina, a reproduction of the command post of a ship. Don't miss the periscope, you can see Sturgeon Bay from inside the museum!
