Question: Where can someone, on a modest budget, gaze upon the works of Chagall, Picasso and Dali; the largest collection of meat-eating theropods on exhibit, and experience American Civil War history like no where else?

Answer: The beautiful lakefront city of Kenosha Wisconsin.

The three Kenosha Public Museums are located in the heart of downtown Kenosha Wisconsin just minutes from the Illinois Wisconsin border and Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois.

The Kenosha Public Museum and the Civil War Museum share a beautiful shoreline campus, with The Dinosaur Discovery Museum, shops, restaurants and motels all within walking distance from the main campus.
