NOW: One hundred years of history, art, and culture for Milwaukee’s Villa Terrace

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It's perhaps the next best thing to an actual Italian villa on the Mediterranean, but it's not in Italy. It's right here in our own backyard.

The Villa Terrace Art Museum is a 19,000 square foot mansion overlooking Lake Michigan on Milwaukee's east side. And now the special place is marking a major milestone; one hundred years.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning Michael Schlesinger shared a tour of the historic site, and explored what role it plans on taking for the next hundred years.
