Wide variety of well presented art works from many areas and time periods. Good lighting. Restaurant has great view and good food.
It is free and well worth the time. Compared to other larger Museums obviously they cannot compete but considering their size and funding they put on an excellent display. Even their restaurant is well above average
The Cleveland Art Museum is the best value in the whole city. For starters, there is no admission charge. It is completely free. Every style and type of art is represented, including a most impressive exhibit of medieval armor. My favorite experience was being able to experience Van Gogh up close and personal. A lovely diner is available with a large variety of healthy and delicious food choices.
The century-old Museum of Art features the works of Monet, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso -- and that's just the European collection. Itself a work of art, an "architectural crown jewel" the museum has been called, this gem overlooks a Grecian-style courtyard in University Circle, the region's park-set cultural showcase about 15 minutes east of downtown. And get this: It's free.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit on a late winter day starting with the surprise that admission was free! The giant indoor court was sunny and warm compared with outside, making it a quite inviting way to begin our tour. The art was great and displayed thoughtfully. There is a docent guided tour of the highlights for those who want a personal touch. Definitely recommend esp for people intimidated by art. Everyone can find something of interest.
The new addition to the art museum means it is even better than before. It is free to visit, the collection is amazing, the cafe Provenance has delicious food, and the central interior courtyard is airy, serene, inspiring.
A great selection of art covering a diverse set of periods. The armor display, much on loan from the National History Museum in Vienna, was quite impressive. A nice collection of renaissance era art as well.
This is a world class museum. Free, docent led tours are offered daily from Tuesday - Friday at 1:30 and on Saturday at 2:30. The docents are knowledgable and friendly. Provenance, the onsite restaurant, is excellent but a little pricey.
I recently stopped by during a very bad weather day to view the new Cleveland Museum of Art. This place is really quite interesting. The Galleries of the main museum are free and the collection is quite superb. Certain attractions are charged a fee and are very crowded and the head phones giving a talk about the pieces can sometimes be distracting, but overall a really great day! The older collections are just so beautiful. The restaurant and gift shop are pricey and don't have an extensive amount of products. I prefer the gift shop down the street at the Cleveland Orchestra Store, great selection of beautiful gifts and music.
This is a world class museum. Recently it went through a remodeling and expansion that moves it far above the rest. And, a truly remarkable thing is that except for special exhibits, the museum is free and open to the public.
