    When founded in 1881, it was the first purpose-built art museum west of the Alleghenies. This building was initially completed in 1886. From the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

    There are some very lovely full-room exhibits/pieces here at the CAM. Like, you walk in the room & the whole room is a piece. I've never seen anything like it at other Art Museums -- really neat.

    Such a variety of pieces from paintings to furniture and even ancient Egyptian artifacts. With free admission, there's no reason not to spend an afternoon here!

    Did you know? The museum has the only collection of ancient Nabataean art outside of Jordan. The Nabateans were, at one time, the largest empire in Europe or the Middle East. Read more

    The Cincinnati Art Museum is a lovely, mid-sized museum with a good variety of artworks. You can easily go through the museum in an afternoon.

    Check out the Cincinnati wing. The Cincinnati Art Museum became the first art museum in the country to dedicate permanent gallery space to celebrating the art history of a city.

    Great Museum nestled atop lovely Eden Park. Search-out the library; floor-to-high-ceiling windows flood the space with light.

    Instead of the $4 lot on the right, turn into the free lot on the left and walk to the entrance. This makes your visit free.

    Awesome exhibit on Art Deco fashion. Try to tag along on a docent tour. The woman who restored all the beadwork is really knowledgeable.
