Betty Brinn Museum offering free admission to government employees and their families

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Starting Saturday, January 19, the Betty Brinn Museum will provide free admission for federal employee families that are not receiving pay as a result of the federal government shutdown.

With a government ID families will receive free admission for up to two adults and all children under 18.

“The Betty Brinn Museum recognizes the hardships that federal employee families are currently facing during the government shutdown and want to ensure that our educational resources are accessible for area parents and caregivers during this stressful time,” said Betty Brinn Museum Board President Jessica Lochmann Allen. “The Museum is deeply committed to serving all families in our community and hopes that furloughed employees in our area will take advantage of the opportunity to receive free Museum admission for their family to benefit from our interactive exhibits and programs that promote learning.”
