Cincinnati History PhotosAugust 4, 2011When 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.
Daniel CrumSeptember 14, 2017There 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.Upvoted Nov 8
Ayisha HollisJuly 10, 2016Very nice place to visit but with they had more ancient (I mean like super old) art pieces they have a lot of European art and try the layered strawberry shortcake in the cafe AMAZING!!!!
Jarrad HolbrookFebruary 15, 2016Such 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!
American Folk Art special exhibit, Tiffany exhibit. Wonderful cafe ... and most of the museum is free entry ... except for special exhibits which are $10 & $5. Lovely setting!
