Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum
Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, Renaissance decorative arts museum on Lake Michigan bluff, Milwaukee, United States.
The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum occupies a white-painted brick building with barrel tiles and an open rectangular courtyard facing Lake Michigan.
Lloyd Smith commissioned architect David Adler to design this Italian-style residence in 1924, modeling it after Villa Cicogna Mozzoni in Lombardy.
The museum exhibits fine and decorative arts from the 15th to 19th centuries, including metal works by Austrian blacksmith Cyril Colnik.
Located at 2220 North Terrace Avenue, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday and offers free admission on the first Thursday of each month.
The Renaissance gardens feature water stairs, fish ponds, sugar maple groves, and privet hedges restored according to the 1997 Buettner master plan.
