In the middle of Title Town, USA, with its glass doors open to anyone,

You’ll find an attractive museum set along the banks of the meandering Fox River.

This long time Green Bay institution, a public fixture as old as the Packers, is known as the Neville Public Museum. Its focus, ranging from science to history, is the northeastern Wisconsin area.

So, if you’d like to know what Wisconsin is about, you could learn a little bit…right here, in this two story museum.

Let’s start off with a curious topic.

In the late nineteenth, and early twentieth century, small time confection makers were part of the Wisconsin economy. This tiny exhibit demonstrates that.

There’s also a small room, a glowing bit of info, on a very common scientific phenomenon: light.

Okay, phenomenon might be an overstatement, but when you actually contemplate light…it’s fairly crazy.

You could also visit an exhibit on Northeast Wisconsin’s climate.

There’s also interactive exhibits detailing everything affected,and included, in our northeast Wisconsin climate.

Of course, if we care to traverse that time tunnel,

and excavate those telling fossils,

we’ll find the Neville’s permanent exhibit.

Which, even while fairly small, ranges in eras of Green Bay living.

There’s even a small art exhibit.

Speaking of art exhibits, the NWTC artisan and business student art exhibit is an excellent display.

It makes for a relaxing atmosphere.

Finally, we get to the main attraction, a small exhibit on dinosaurs.

My opinion? It’s really small.

And fairly disjointed.

Yet, it’s informational, and, while the skeletons are merely casts, you appreciate the size, and the assumed ferociousness, of these untamed animals.

All and all, my visit to the Neville Public Museum, a short hour or so, stacked many blocks of information.

Those blocks were a path to enlightenment…And that’s no bull…

Safe Travels!
