Milwaukee Public Museum 2/5/11

There are creepy "historical" mannequins everywhere, including these terrifying children. The Mummies of the World exhibit was really cool though-the first time I've seen mummies from anywhere but Egypt or the Roman Empire. They had South American mummies that were so well preserved their skin still had color and their hair looked like a live person's.

Also check out the butterfly room:
Butterflies are everywhere, and sometimes they'll try to escape on people's clothing so there's a mirror to check yourself before you leave!

Villa Terrace



Beautiful Italian Villa on the Milwaukee lakefront, built in 1924 to remind the couple of their honeymoon in Italy.
