Taft Museum of Art

The Taft has free parking ! They might be the only place downtown that does... I parked at a meter before I found that out. Be better than me!

The Baum-Longworth-Sinton-Taft House was home to some of Cincinnati's most famous families. The Tafts bequeathed it to Cincinnati in 1927. Collection of Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton Co.

As you walk through this wonderfully restored home with great decor.... note that these are world renowned "Old Master" paintings . One of America's "Great Surprise" museums .

Fantastic museum , a very diverse collection so a little bit for everyone!

Look for the Robert S. Duncanson murals towards what was the front door of the house. They constitute one of the largest existing pre-Civil War domestic mural decorations in the US.

Did you know? The mansion was the home of William Howard Taft’s half brother, Charles, who co-founded the museum . In 1908, Taft accepted the presidential nomination under the house’s portico. Read more

Amazing collection and history.

Great private collection. Remember to go out to Lytle Park and, just southeast of the Lincoln statue pay homage to the Marine Fountain !

The rudest people work in the restaurant . Made a reservation that took two days of calls. When I arrived they said sorry full.

Sundays are free and every 3rd Sunday is children oriented.

Stop in the shop to browse the beautiful gifts .

The main collection is strong on portraiture.

Food service awful
