“The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) will now be free for kids age 12 and under through an
anonymous gift of $3.54 million. The gift will enable the museum to… fund the admission waiver
in perpetuity. … ‘I’m just beyond words, so deeply grateful, and so excited that this will impact generations
of kids to come… It’s so exciting… the generosity of spirit… is again just such a tremendous gift,’ [said a
museum officer, who also said] describing the gift as ‘transformative’ would be an understatement.”

Readily, steadily,
MAM’s upper management
praises the donor, and
can’t seem to quit.

Clearly, they’re moved by this
mega-philanthropy
which, like the kids, they will
freely admit.
