Villa Terrace

Within walking distance of the Charles Allis Art Museum [1], the lavish 1923 Mediterranean Italian Renaissance Villa Terrace (2220 N. Terrace Ave., 414/271-3656, www.cavtmuseums.org [2], 1–5 p.m. Wed.–Sun., $5 adults) houses an eclectic collection of decorative arts, including art and handcrafted furniture from the 16th through the 20th centuries.

A four-year Garden Renaissance program involved the restoration of a variety of botanical collections (organically melding interiors and exteriors). It is now one of the country’s only existing examples of Italian Renaissance garden art and design.
