Originally known as the Cincinnati Union Terminal, the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal is a unique, multi-museum complex housed in the historic Art Deco train station of Union Terminal in Cincinnati’s neighborhood of Queensgate. After the decline of the railroad industry and rail travel in general, the once-bustling building was converted into a center that now houses museums, theaters, and a library, as well as special traveling exhibitions.
