Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Milwaukee Art Museum
The Milwaukee Art Museum offers a dense collection in large galleries, with an architecture that dialogues with the shore of Lake Michigan. The visit gains to alternate major rooms and quieter spaces to feel the progress of the visual talk.
Culture and heritage
Harley-Davidson Museum
The Harley-Davidson Museum traces the evolution of a brand that has shaped a mechanical and popular American culture. The visit combines restored machines, business history and urban iconography for a very concrete immersion with a community of enthusiasts.
Culture and heritage
Milwaukee Public Market
Located in the Third Ward, the Milwaukee Public Market gathers local food shops in a living public market setting. We enter it as in a collective workshop: seasonal products, artisans, kitchen smells and tight traffic give an immediate overview of the local ecosystem.
Place indismissible
Pabst Mansion
Pabst Mansion offers the house of a large brewer of Milwaukee in a preserved version of neo-Renaissance Flemish luxury. The restored rooms give a precise picture of a lifestyle of the late 19th century, with an architecture full of details.
