“Great Value!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

The art museum is big--don't really care for the layout, but neither here nor there. It's only $4!! So, I was really happy about that. Their art collection is pretty extensive. What I loved the most was the Eastern collection. Some of it goes back thousands of years (BC). The one thing I noticed was missing was some Russian art. But there was plenty of the European Renaissance art--lots of religious art. And the collection of sculptures was small, but very beautiful. Again, not bad at all for four bucks!

“one of the best small museums.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

The Cinti Art Museum has some very strong areas -- there is a Cinti wing. Did you know that Cinti was a major art center in the 19c? Duveneck and many others from Cinti are well represented here, including a wonderful collection of Rookwood pottery. Also, there is excellent Islamic & Mideast art. What they have in each area is terrific quality, and the temp exhibits are great. Parking is currently $4, but entry is free. Well worth a half day if you are an art museum person.

“Cincinnati's Treasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

This place never fails to impress. They have a wonderfully varied collection beautifully displayed and the pieces are signed in an informative fashion. The cafe within the museum is a great treat as well.
