How Do Wisconsinites Feel About Weapons and Their Role in Our Lives?
Milwaukee—The Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM) and the Frank Zeidler Center for Public Discussion (Zeidler Center) are partnering to bring Wisconsinites together to discuss issues that matter in our lives at Curiosity Circles: an Evening of Discovery and Dialogue (Curiosity Circles). Presented by Hydrite Chemical Co., Curiosity Circles will happen throughout the year and every community conversation will focus on MPM’s collections and current events.
In conjunction with MPM’s latest limited-engagement exhibition, Weapons: Beyond the Blade, the first Curiosity Circles will focus on the history of weapons and how this topic still resonates with citizens on local, national and even global levels. On Thursday, November 30 at 6:00 p.m., members of the public are invited for a special viewing of Weapons: Beyond the Blade. At 7:00 p.m., we will gather together, form dialogue circles, or small groups, and unpack our feelings about this important subject. This event is free to the public but does require pre-registration via this webform or by calling 414-278-2728.
