Exhibitions & Programs
| The Oshkosh Public Museum invites you to discover the real things of history and the stories they tell through our many exhibitions and programs.
In addition to our permanent and temporary exhibitions, we host a variety of programs and events throughout the year. While these programs and events support our mission of promoting and nurturing an understanding and appreciation of local history and culture, above all else they are fun and interesting ways to enjoy learning. |

Special Programs
Every visit to the Oshkosh Public Museum can be enhanced with a special make-and-take project. Located in the sunroom near the main entrance, this area features an entertaining, historical do-it-yourself project.
The take home activity changes monthly, and directions and supplies are provided to make and take home your very own piece of history.
April: Pop Art - Get ready to explore the new exhibition REPLAY, learn what the Pop Art movement is about, and then create your own pop art piece.
May: Memorial Day - This month, join us as we observe Memorial Day. Learn about the history of this federal holiday and then create your own piece of poppy art as a reminder.
