See the exhibit to get an inside look at the world-renowned magician and performer Harry Houdini!


Houdini (AKA Ehrich Weiss) lived in Appleton for four years as a child, and always considered the city to be his hometown. This exhibit takes visitors through his childhood, early career, rise to fame, and legacy with photos, video, and artifacts used by the man himself.


Kids (and kids at heart) have the chance to learn and perform some of his iconic illusions, such as the Metamorphosis, and even escape from "jail" in this interactive exhibit.


Experience the magic of AKA Houdini!
