I was the 20-something kid under-dressed for the event in blue jeans and a flannel shirt.
Dan, the museum is open to the public on the MSOE campus. The building is beautiful and located downtown, with the galleries on the first floor just off the entrance. As Timerover mentioned, one of the authors and exhibiting artists will be present this Friday for a book signing.

Yes, Norskellunge, I am the gentleman looking to purchase the Bramble for use as a research ship, my son was wondering around in the red MSOE hoody, as he is a student there. My wife and daughter were there as well, and we went out afterward to celebrate my wife's birthday at the Safe House in Milwaukee. That is another place in Milwaukee worth checking out.
See discussion here regards the Bramble:

While you are there, you should take a look at some of the rest of the museum, as the entire collection is devoted to Man at work. One of the authors works at the Discovery World Museum and the other worked on the Lake boats in the early 1980s.
There is a fantastic panoramic photo of the 2009 layup in Sturgeon Bay, and another black and white photo of them working on a bow thruster. If you are interested in the Lake at all, it is very much worth seeing.
