The MPM will host a "topping-off" ceremony to celebrate this major construction milestone beginning at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday.
During the ceremony government officials and museum leadership will sign the beam before it is lifted into place by a tower crane.
The Nature and Culture Museum of Wisconsin remains on track to open in early 2027, with exterior construction expected to be complete by the end of 2025.
