Cleveland Museum of Art

Cleveland Museum of Art opened in 1916 and still keeps its permanent collection free to enter. Galleries from many regions and periods wrap around the Ames Family Atrium, a glass-covered public room joining the original building to later additions.The museum closes Monday and stays open until 9 p.m. Wednesday and Friday. Special exhibitions can require paid tickets even though general admission is free. The collection is large enough for several visits, and gallery rotations mean individual works may not always be on view. More
