Cincinnati Art Museum
(Admission is Free)

The Cincinnati Art Museum, founded in 1881, is one of the nation's oldest visual art institutions and the first general art museum west of the Allegheny Mountains to be established in its own building. In 1886 it opened its doors and was acclaimed to be "The Art Palace of the West." 

The museum's featured collections offer the only collection of ancient Nabataean art outside of Jordan. In addition, it possesses the renowned Herbert Greer French collection of old master prints, a fine collection of European and American portrait miniatures, many paintings from Cincinnati's "Golden Age" (1830-1900), as well as Cincinnati's own Rookwood pottery and more than 40 pieces of Cincinnati carved furniture.
