“Dear Milwalkey Art Museum…”
Just LOOK at the note a clever kid left behind for art museum staff to find ⤵️
“I have come here so many times, I’ve lost count!” the young art aficionado admits before sharing their favorite pieces and one request: “If a janitor finds this, don’t throw it away!” 😆
Don’t worry, kid, they didn’t!
Thankfully, this kid and ALL kids can forever enjoy the world-renowned Milwaukee Art Museum FOR FREE thanks to a generous $3.5 million anonymous donation made in 2024.
The unnamed donor said he/she grew up visiting the museum with their family and hopes that giving future kids the same opportunity will spark their creativity and appreciation for art.
So far, mission accomplished ✅
