Welcome to the Milwaukee Public Museum!
If you’re a history buff or just someone who loves to learn about different cultures and time periods, then you’re in for a treat at our museum. One of our most fascinating exhibits is the Hanseatic League, a group formed by German towns for the protection of their merchants. This league represents the age of trade and exploration that ultimately led to the discovery of the New World.
The postcard you’re holding depicts the League’s counting house, a hub of activity and commerce during this pivotal time in history. It’s a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the importance of trade and cooperation among nations.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our exhibit sponsor, Marine National Exchange Bank, for their support in bringing this exhibit to life. Without their generosity, we wouldn’t be able to showcase such incredible pieces of history.
So come on down to the Milwaukee Public Museum and immerse yourself in the world of the Hanseatic League. It’s a journey through time that you won’t soon forget. And don’t forget to pick up a postcard as a memento of your visit!
Sincerely,
The Milwaukee Public Museum Team
