The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a stunning Italian Renaissance-style villa that offers a glimpse into the world of decorative arts and design. Built in 1923, the villa was originally the home of Lloyd R. Smith, an industrialist and president of the A.O. Smith Corporation, and his family. The museum features an extensive collection of fine and decorative arts, including European and American furniture, textiles, ceramics, and metalwork. One of the highlights of the museum is its beautifully landscaped gardens, known as the Renaissance Garden, which are modeled after classic Italian gardens and offer breathtaking views of Lake Michigan.
