If you are in the area and need something to kill a couple of hours this is a good option. There are some good points but nothing you would not see in a larger city-it is also a little pricey. More

Here's another museum that's better than the tired city it is in, and the structure it is in is really impressive. Combine a visit to it with the Paine Art Center and Arboretum across the intersection, and you'll forget you're in Oshkosh. More

Lovely small museum with a flair for creativity. We went there for Potterfest and they had decorated/transformed this beautiful old home into Hogwarts, along with the regular exhibits. My 5 year old son was very impressed. They had people acting as Potter characters (games, sorting hat, candy trolly, etc.) so it really brought it to life. Bravo to them for... More

I went here as a child to see the apostle's clock and even if you only have 15 minutes to run in, get there on the hour to see this amazing clock. The building itself is beautiful and there are some interesting exhibits. More

What a gorgeous building. It belonged to a lumber magnate, who donated it to the city. The museum exhibits do a good job of describing Oshkosh and its history, and the staff is helpful. My wife and I last visited on or about August 6th, 2009, to see the exhibit titled Public Enemies. The Johnny Depp film of that name... More
