Built in 1820, this National Historic Landmark is known as one of the finest small art museums in America. The Federal period building is home to nearly 700 works of art, including European and American paintings by masters such as Rembrandt, Sargent, Turner, Hals, and Whistler; Chinese porcelains; and European decorative arts.  

The Taft Museum of Art reopened in May 2004 after a 2-1/2 year, $22.8 million renovation and expansion. The renovated and expanded Museum houses new amenities including a parking garage, a new special exhibitions gallery, a performance/lecture facility, intimate café, expanded museum shop, and redesigned garden. The expansion nearly doubles the Museum’s size.
