Cincinnati Art Museum

Who We Are: The Cincinnati Art Museum features a diverse, encyclopedic art collection of more than 67,000 works spanning 6,000 years. In addition to displaying its own broad collection, the museum hosts several national and international traveling exhibitions each year. From Van Gogh to Warhol, from Cincinnati to Africa, the museum tells the story of the history of art.

General admission to the Cincinnati Art Museum is always free. Special exhibition pricing may vary. Parking at the Cincinnati Art Museum is free. The museum is open Tuesday – Sunday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. and Thursday, 11 a.m.–8 p.m.

What We Do: We believe that a vibrant city integrates art and design into its civic agenda. Connecting people and art is central to this belief and at the core of all we do. We believe that inspiration, empowerment, education and community building are the highest purposes of museum programs, exhibitions, collecting, conservation, interpretation and scholarship.

Through the power of art, the Cincinnati Art Museum contributes to a more vibrant Cincinnati by inspiring its people and connecting our communities.

Why We’re Important: We seek to present exhibitions and public programming that empower, educate and build community through culturally rich and diverse experiences.

Founded in 1881 by a group of volunteers on the notion of servicing the public, the museum boldly carries the civic mandate forward to this day. We were one of the first art museums in the westward expansion of our country, and the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum are among the largest and finest in the nation.

The Cincinnati Art Museum serves as a hub for the community. A welcoming, beautiful location where families can come together. How We Serve the Community: In addition to the experience we provide within our facility, our community outreach efforts bring us to schools, community centers, libraries and festivals as we work to bring art to the public. The museum also offers partnership opportunities for specific areas of geographic focus, called Art For Life, as well as lectures, hands on art making activities and other programs.

We are proud to offer an experience for everyone, including baby tours, docent-led tours, and accessibility tours for visitors with vision and hearing impairments. The Rosenthal Education Center (REC) provides interactive activities for art lovers of all ages.

How You Can Help: There are many ways to make a difference at the museum, including volunteering, donating to the Cincinnati Art Museum’s Annual Fund or visiting our diverse exhibitions and attending programs and events!
