Charles Allis Art Museum

I'm a local photographer and this is one of my favorite places to shoot weddings! The space is beautiful inside and out and the staff is wonderful! I can't wait to visit again soon! www.el.photos Emerie Leigh Photography

Visiting this museum was part of an enchanted afternoon in Milwaukee's Lower East Side. You'll have to decide for yourself what's the most appealing: the private art collection or the home itself. I ambled thru the museum at my own pace and enjoyed all of its tranquility. While standing on the second floor marble staircase, I watched a wedding reception on the patio below. What a lovely setting for special occasions.

Awesome little local museum representing the life and art collectioning of Sarah and Charles Allis at the beginning of 20 century. I've had a great hour there. Recommend to visit.

Spent 2 hours. Self- guided tour through three levels including the antique bowling lanes in the basement. Beautiful and eclectic art collections, lovely woodwork and well-preserved home. They had a modern exhibit throughout the home which was a fun mash-up of old and new. All in all a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon

Beautiful old mansion. Well worth a visit.

Gorgeous house museum. First floor focuses on furnishings showing how the family lived plus a diverse and global art collection procured by the Allis family. Upper floor is more minimalist, showcasing temporary exhibits and contemporary local artists. This dual-function house means locals can return with confidence that they’ll see something new each time. And visitors and locals can glimpse into the past thanks to the first floor. Admission here gets you admission to the Villa Terrace Museum, just make sure you obtain proof of ticket purchase. Or even better - purchase a membership! Recommend!

Beautiful historic home, made for a nice walk through. The museum lacked information about the home itself and its art collection. Though the current exhibit ‘Ghosts of Segregation’ was fascinating. $10 wasn’t bad, but like i said would have enjoyed more historic information on the home and individual.

We attended a beautiful wedding there in October! The weather was perfect to walk around the outdoor patio and the large exhibit room was wonderful for dancing. It was fun to explore the museum as the room was being switched from ceremony to reception. Beautiful building! I love the staircase.
