About Weis Earth Science Museum
Weis Earth Science Museum (abbreviated as WESM) is permanently closed and the collection has been moved to the History Museum at the Castle. It was previously located at 1478 Midway Rd, on the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, Fox Cities Campus in Menasha, Wisconsin, USA, was opened in 2002. It focused on Wisconsin geology and its mining history. As such, it was designated as the Official Mineralogical Museum of Wisconsin by then-Governor Tommy Thompson in 2000, prior to its construction.
Due to the closure of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Fox Cities Campus, the WESM collections have been safely moved to the History Museum at the Castle. Two new exhibits, Prehistoric Wisconsin and the Gallery of the Earth, highlight the specimens from the Weis Earth Science Collection.
