We returned to the Lakefront to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum, which has been built to look like a giant cruise ship. Most of the artwork is packed up and stored away right now as the two other buildings are being renovated in the next year.

The Special Exhibit was "Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair", which highlighted the work of
Eunice W. Johnson.

The Museum of Decorative Arts is on the Milwaukee Museum Mile. It's housed in a mansion that once belonged to the family of AO Smith, who got their start in business with a bicycle parts shop that eventually morphed into a billion dollar global water technology corporation. The family donated the mansion to the city in 1976. It's just one of the houses on the Museum Mile that stretches down to the shores of Lake Michigan below.
We ended our last day with tapas, wood-fired pizza, and semifreddo at Wolf Peach, which sits atop a hill in Walker's Point. This was the view from our table.
