Founded in 1913 “for the benefit of all the people forever,” the Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the country’s most distinguished cultural institutions and one of the top Cleveland attractions. Housed in a beautifully preserved neoclassic building of white Georgian marble, the museum lies at the center of the city’s Fine Arts Garden, just north of the Wade Lagoon.

The museum has a fantastic collection of more than 30,000 works of art that span over 5,000 years; some of the collections boast works from ancient Egypt, as well as world-renowned masterpieces from Europe, Asia, and Africa. In keeping with its mission of bringing art to the people of Cleveland, Ohio the museum also fills its calendar with special exhibitions, lectures, films, and musical programs for the public, as well as community-based programs and performing arts series.
