The Neville always has many different displays and exhibits going and one never knows what to expect when you get there. It's very clean and well lit and the displays are all within easy access to anyone who wishes to check them out.

As a teacher of 4th gr and 8th gr I had the pleasure of taking several groups on a historic adventure through the Neville Museum. Plan out how you want your students to participate in their exploration. We always had a study guide to help focus their activities.

The Neville Public Museum in Green Bay is easy to spot because of the large dinosaur outside its doors. This museum has traveling exhibits as well as permanent exhibitions. It shows the history of Wisconsin from the ice age through the World Wars. It also has areas for children to explore, bringing fun to all ages.

Made the trip from Milwaukee today to see the HC Prange windows exhibit and "Bruce the Spruce". HUGELY DISAPPOINTING! With all the Prange stores around, the window displays were pretty thin; and many not even working I understand they've been in storage for 30+ years; but unless you have more; you shouldn't be displaying this as a major exhibit.

The main display never grows old. Always finding something new to learn about regarding the land or the history surrounding the settling of Green Bay. The changing displays also have been the best from the Christmas windows of Prange's department store to the wedding gowns of old to the Packer practice field for the youngsters.

This was a nice little two story local history museum that told the story of the greater Green Bay area. It covered everything from indians to ore carriers on the Great Lakes. You can plan on taking up to 2 hours or more if you read every little detail for each display.

Had some family visiting and it was raining so I found this museum online. Price was affordable, kids were interested and enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit. We took our time and enjoyed the afternoon. We would go back again.

Not a huge place but nicely done for Green Bay with venues for recitals on the river and nearby other attractions.
