When founded in 1881, it was the first purpose-built art museum west of the Alleghenies. This building was initially completed in 1886. From the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County .

There are some very lovely full-room exhibits/pieces here at the CAM. Like, you walk in the room & the whole room is a piece. I've never seen anything like it at other Art Museums -- really neat.

Ayisha Hollis

Very nice place to visit but with they had more ancient (I mean like super old) art pieces they have a lot of European art and try the layered strawberry shortcake in the cafe AMAZING!!!!

Jarrad Holbrook

Such a variety of pieces from paintings to furniture and even ancient Egyptian artifacts . With free admission , there's no reason not to spend an afternoon here!

Did you know? The museum has the only collection of ancient Nabataean art outside of Jordan. The Nabateans were, at one time, the largest empire in Europe or the Middle East. Read more

Instead of the $4 lot on the right, turn into the free lot on the left and walk to the entrance. This makes your visit free.
