Boutique Venues at UW-MadisonMake UW-Madison Your "Destination for Exploration" Learners of all ages from all over Wisconsin can come to UW-Madison's campus to explore science at dozens of venues. While art, athletics, dance, music and theater have campus venues that can welcome hundreds and thousands of people, the science venues are smaller and often can provide tailored service. We call these "Boutique Science Venues @ UW-Madison" because they tend to be small, focussed on a specific topic, open limited hours, and emphasize personal service. The best part: their small size can mean big experiences for visitors. Boutique means unique! So plan an Expedition to Discovery, chart out a visit to several venues, and come experience science as exploring the unknown among the UW-Madison's community of researchers and outreachers. For assistance in planning your visit to campus, please call the Campus Information and Visitor Center at 608 265 9500. |
