The couple amassed a unique art collection with the intention of bequeathing their mansion. and its contents to the public. It contains a collection of paintings, prints, sculptures, ceramics and more. To complement this collection, the Allis holds several changing exhibitions each year, which feature works by Wisconsin artists. The mansion is largely intact with original furnishings. The museum, along with the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, is part of the Milwaukee County War Memorial Corporation.
