Music Policy
Charles and Sarah Allis built their home in the residential Prospect Avenue neighborhood, and donated their home to Milwaukee as an art museum for the benefit of us all. Museum leadership is committed to continuing the Allis legacy of being good neighbors — and our music policy comes out of this tradition. Amplified music is welcome inside the museum. It must end promptly at the agreed-upon time and no later than 10:30 p.m. We strictly adhere to this policy to insure not only the success of your event but also our future programming. Your business is important to us. We look forward to working with you to create the exceptional events we are known for, while respecting our neighbors.
