Cleveland Museum of Art

Introduction

The Cleveland Museum of Art is one of America's most important comprehensive art museums, founded in 1913, with a collection of more than 60,000 works spanning 6,000 years of human civilization. Curatorial strengths include European painting, Asian art, ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman antiquities, pre-Columbian American art, and contemporary photography. The European painting collection features masterpieces by Caravaggio, El Greco, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso. The museum is renowned for its ArtLens Gallery interactive digital space, where visitors use touchscreens and AR to explore the collection in depth. Most notably, the museum offers permanent free admission to its main galleries, with only special exhibitions ticketed, one of few major American art museums to do so. The newly expanded contemporary art atrium by Rafael Vinoly floods the glass canopy with natural light, a pilgrimage site for architecture lovers.
