A Night at the Museum

5:30-9:00 p.m.

This event is a celebration of over 100 years of our history, our community, and our Museum and will be held at the Neville. The one-of-a-kind event will highlight the Museum’s collections and experts and illustrate how far the Museum has come since its humble beginning in 1915 in the former Kellogg Library basement.


Funds raised from A Night at the Museum will be used to support the Neville Public Museum Foundation, which funds all exhibits and programs at the Museum. Each year the Foundation raises money to support the museum by paying for in-house and traveling exhibits, and exhibit-related expenditures, such as: marketing, artifact purchase and conservation, gallery construction and installation materials, educational gallery handouts and catalogs, audio-visual equipment, and computer hardware and software used in exhibits, exhibit-related programming, and other educational activities.


By sponsoring the 2023 A Night at the Museum, you will not only take an active role in enriching our community, you’ll also have the pleasure of attending the wonderful event we have planned featuring great food, entertainment, and other special guests.

78th Art Annual

Now open!

The 78th Art Annual exhibit is an all-media, juried exhibition of current artworks produced by artists living in the counties of Northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  


This juried art exhibition began in 1942 during the height of World War II. For over three-quarters of a century, many of this region’s most celebrated and talented artists have exhibited their work as part of this Green Bay tradition. This exhibition exhibits the importance and power of visual languages that can be interpreted and reinterpreted. For everything that needs to be said there is a language, and the languages of these artists are eclectic and relevant for the times in which we live. The artists have spoken from their own unique voices utilizing various mediums, subject matter, and cultures. Check it out today!
