Cincinnati Art Museum

Founded in 1881, the Cincinnati Art Museum opened in its permanent Eden Park home in 1886 as the first purpose-built art museum west of the Alleghenies. It grew from local efforts to create a public cultural institution and has expanded repeatedly into one of the oldest art museums in the United States. With more than 67,000 works spanning 6,000 years, it holds Ohio’s largest art collection and one of the Midwest’s most comprehensive. Its internationally known works are paired with strong Cincinnati connections, especially in the Cincinnati Wing. Free admission to permanent galleries and continued growth have kept it a major civic and cultural institution.
