The Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the most-visited fine arts museums in the world, attracting an annual visitorship of over 700,000 people. The museum is located in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood and is the last of the United States' top art museums to offer free admission every day, though some special temporary exhibitions require a ticketed upcharge. It was originally founded in 1913 by a group of prominent Cleveland industrialists and is housed within a Beaux Arts-style building along the southern end of the National Register of Historic Places-listed Wade Park. A collection of more than 45,000 artworks showcases pieces from around the world, including world-renowned collections of Egyptian and Asian art. The museum's Ingalls Library, one of the United States' largest art libraries, houses more than 500,000 volumes related to fine art. Educational and public programming is offered regularly, including film and performing arts series and public lectures. The museum is open to the public Tuesdays through Sundays during the morning and afternoon hours, with extended evening hours on Wednesdays and Fridays.
