Daniel CrumSeptember 14, 2017There 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 HollisJuly 10, 2016Very 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 HolbrookFebruary 15, 2016Such 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!
American Folk Art special exhibit, Tiffany exhibit. Wonderful cafe ... and most of the museum is free entry ... except for special exhibits which are $10 & $5. Lovely setting!
Mary PhillipsAugust 3, 2020The Cincinnati Art Museum is a lovely, mid-sized museum with a good variety of artworks. You can easily go through the museum in an afternoon.- Whitney LeeApril 19, 2016Definetly should check out the 30 Americans exhibit. The grilled cheese in the cafe is also super yummy!
Check out the Cincinnati wing. The Cincinnati Art Museum became the first art museum in the country to dedicate permanent gallery space to celebrating the art history of a city.
RulaJanuary 14, 2016Great location, lovely exhibits, free admission (and parking comp'ed with any purchase at shop or café).
Rhonda VanderbeekJanuary 10, 2014Great Museum nestled atop lovely Eden Park. Search-out the library; floor-to-high-ceiling windows flood the space with light.
Brian KellyJanuary 3, 2017Great Kid Friendly / Family Friendly Art Museum. Lots of interactive exhibits and Friendly Staff.
Shaun WilsonOctober 22, 2011Instead 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.
Josh WFebruary 19, 2012This place is free, full of amazing art work, and usually has world famous exhibit showing.
Ghostly InternationalJuly 15, 2011The grounds outside are just a beautiful as the architecture on the inside. Not to mention outstanding exhibits.
Lisa KoesterNovember 15, 2011Awesome exhibit on Art Deco fashion. Try to tag along on a docent tour. The woman who restored all the beadwork is really knowledgeable.
Richard BlantonAugust 12, 2016Good mix of artwork and the area surrounding the museum is picturesque.

Jason HicksMarch 27, 2012The contemporary gallery on the 3rd floor is overlooked, but is very interesting.
Amy ShropshireMay 7, 2010Free! Pay for parking at the front desk. I didn't realize that and just walked straight in and didn't pay! Guy at the parking kiosk wouldn't take my money!
