Entry No. 34 — the Milwaukee file — filed under: history

Art Preserve of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center

The world's first museum dedicated entirely to artist-built environments, housing fully preserved homes, complete living spaces, and glitter-covered rooms created by self-taught visionary artists.

The move: Step inside Loy Bowlin's 'Rhinestone Cowboy' room coated top-to-bottom in glitter and garland, then grab a drink at the carved-wooden Fred Smith bar in the lobby.
