Plants make people happy, and with thousands of wild and wonderful plants growing and blooming inside our tropical, desert and floral domes, it's no surprise that our living museum is one of Milwaukee's most loved destinations.

It's a beautiful morning outside and inside the Domes!

Be transported to ancient Egypt and commune with the pharaohs in "Treasures of the MUMmies," our Fall Show floral tribute (some imagination required). Naturally MUMS are the focus, with numerous varieties comprising the bright floral bed. The warmth of the three domes on a chilly day uplifts and comforts--the glass "pyramids" offer a soothing respite from the urban wild. mitchellparkdomes.com

This coveted collectible can be yours when you visit the Domes today-- it's Free Sticker Wednesday! Celebrate the fall season with this stick-on marvel, free with paid admission.

Howard Carter famously unearthed King Tut's tomb more than a century ago, and the fascination with mummies and the ancient royals' sarcophagi has only grown with the intervening years.

Now you too can uncover the secrets of the ancients when you visit the Domes for our Fall Show, "Treasures of the MUMmies." Some imagination is required, and the creative display focuses on the treasures more than mummies, but this floral show is a visual feast, with marigolds and multiple varieties of mums front and center. mitchellparkdomes.com

Fall Show opens today!

Step into our iconic crystalline pyramid--the Show Dome--and be transported to the Land of the Pharaohs. "Treasures of the MUMmies" invites you to explore the tombs of the ancients as you meander through the dome, exploring the rarified ruins of a lost society. (Some imagination required). Mums are front-and-center, naturally, and the plants include:
🌄 Papyrus 'King Tut' Depicted on ancient Egyptian columns, this plant was used in making paper, cloth, sails, and mats
🌄 Centaurea 'Jubilee Gem' Symbolized the god, Osiris--and rebirth

And in the lobby, from 9am to 2pm: Sito's coffee offers that ancient drink and variations of it

Opens Saturday!

When Howard Carter broke the bonds of King Tut's tomb in 1922, he made one of the most important archaeological discoveries in history.

Now, you too can unearth (using your imagination) the treasures of the tombs of the ancients in our ravishing, mum-heavy Fall Show, "Treasures of the MUMmies." It opens Saturday.

Only the Desert and Tropical Domes will be open through Friday, while work is completed in the Show Dome. Full admission applies, but trust us, those two ecosystems-under-glass are well worth it. mitchellparkdomes.com
