I got to get some pictures, tie up some loose ends with a very helpful librarian, went on a little side quest to the the second floor in the business room where I found a few amazing books that were showcased. I love that they showcase books as looking through the isles is a little daunting. Using the online portals to sign out books for book check out is an amazing tool. Book drop off drive through is great, don't even have to get out of the car. Parking is by meter conveniently all around block. Lighthouse is so neat! The children's area librarians are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, you see a lot of the same staff here which is also telling of an environment I feel. Inner city so it sometimes it attracts loitering, but overall it's well kept.

We hadn't intended to visit the Charles Allis Art Museum over our weekend in Milwaukee, but when we…read moregot our tickets to tour the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum a short walk away, they said our ticket also got us into the Charles Allis. So we walked over to check it out. The building feels much less like an art museum than a historic house. The house was completed in 1911, and it is beautiful. We did a quick self-guided tour through each of the rooms, but we didn't stay long. There's art in each of the rooms, pieces collected by Charles Allis. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this museum, but it's not a bad place to visit if you're in the area and have a few minutes to spare.

(To quote their website). My son and I enjoyed our visit on a MAM reciprocity day. We were greeted warmly, and given a map and information on the temporary exhibit and permanent collection when we entered. The survey of Wisconsin art "Forward..." new art by seemingly younger artists, was cool, and hung throughout the Museum. The exhibit was a nice compliment to the older art, which includes pieces by Winslow Homer. Part of the charm of visiting the Allis Art Museum is seeing period art displayed in a period space. Rooms dedicated to the Barbizon or Hudson River Schools are also amazing for their period furnishings and history. See the Billiards room in the basement for a single lane bowling alley reminiscent of "There Will Be Blood", and also a creepy shower with a "Needle" faucet- What? The newer Rahill hall looks like a big old dance hall, and would be a cool space for a small event or mixer. I'm surprised to be only the sixth reviewer for this gem of a museum.

What a treasure Milwaukee has in this art museum!

It was worth every penny, and it's especially easy to get my moneys worth because the museum is only about a 10 minute drive away from my Bay View home. My latest foray to the museum was to see the Gertrude Abercrombie installation, which I highly recommend. Then again, I can recommend anything going on at the MAM.

I am not sure what would normally be on the second floor but they said there was a wedding later that day - there are many weddings here on Saturdays. I was hoping for more.

The main exhibit might be up for a 2-3 years and then there's a new neighborhood exhibit series that is set to change up more frequently. I visited my first time during Milwaukee Museum week so admission was FREE. But I would pay full admission ($8) if you really want a deep dive into Milwaukee. When I dropped in, the beer exhibit was up so everything displayed related to Milwaukees's beer culture and history. It was FASCINATING. There's also an actual bank vault inside the building that was used in the filming of the movie, Public Enemies, with Johnny Deep. You can walk inside the vault. The space is also worth mentioning - lots of marble. It's just a fun place to escape to. I recommend you plan to spend at least two hours here if you want to really read all the information on display and see all the artifacts. Parking might be tricky - street parking is the way to go if you can find a spot.

I went recently to get a "real ID" ahead of some upcoming trips, as airports now require it. I was sure to check online prior to make sure I had everything required, which includes a birth certificate, my marriage certificate for proof of name change, my current drivers license, and two proofs of address. Mind you, if you don't have the things, you will be turned away. Oh and proof of address needs to be something like an energy bill & mortgage statement. I filled out an application upon arrival, waited in line, had my photos taken, and then waited for my number to be called. It was a fairly seamless process, because I had all that was needed, and only cost $14 which really surprised me. All in all, be very prepared with what you're coming for. Multiple people were (rudely) turned away during my visit and no one really wants to have to make more than one trip here.
