About Cleveland Museum of Art

One of America's great art museums, home to more than 61,000 works spanning 6,000 years, and the permanent collection costs nothing to see. The soaring glass-roofed atrium is a destination in itself, and the interactive ArtLens Gallery makes masterpieces fun for kids. Pair it with a stroll through the Wade Lagoon gardens out front.
