Gallery Upgrades

The Peterson Gallery at DCMM Sturgeon Bay will be closed to the public January-April 2026 as we begin a complete overhaul of that space, which will reopen in May 2026.

The three other legacy galleries of the Sturgeon Bay museum – along with the Jim Kress Maritime Lighthouse Tower – are all open and ready for your visit!
