If you are in Cleveland, it's well worth your time to visit the Museum of Art in the University Circle. Three works that I found noteworthy were The Dream by Salvador Dali, The Poplars at Saint-Rémy by Vincent van Gogh, and Water Lillies by Claude Monet. There were also several interesting contemporary pieces. General Admission is free, and parking in... more

As an amateur visitor of art museums, Cleveland should be proud for what they have. The Cleveland Museum of Art has works of almost every well known modern artists...Picasso, Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Turner, O'Keeffe, Warhol, Pollock and I've heard that they've purchased a Dali not too long ago. There are also collections of armor, and ancient Latin America, Egyptian... more

The Cleveland Museum of Art is a wonderful place to go and see beautiful works of art. It is still under construction but the parts that are open are amazing. They have plenty of paintings on display and many sculptures, pottery, mid-evil decor, and jewelry too. Admission for general museum is FREE. It is a great place to go and... more

I'm from Toronto and although I've been to our art museum it was a long time ago for school so I can't really compare the two except for the price. I believe Toronto's is about 20 bucks while Cleveland's is free. For free, this is spectacular value and I see why it's #1 attraction in the Cleve ahead of rock... more

What an excellent find in Cleveland, which is free to the public. While this museum is currently on the small side, it has some wonderful works. The museum is under construction, and after expansion will be pretty huge. They have a very nice selection of Impressionist works, including a progression of Picasso from the time he was 18 well into... more

The museum is currently under construction and won't be done until 2013. They have the main floor galleries of the original marble 1916 building open as well as their new east wing galleries. Their eastern and ancient collections are still in storage, but you can view their contemporary collections, armor court, colonial American, Impressionist and various other collections on display.... more

The majority of the museum remains closed for renovations, but there are 19 galleries now open (as of late July 2008). These galleries show the highlights of the museum-- all European and American art. The Cleveland Museum of Art has a world-renowned collection and a swing by is worth your time even for the highlights. We were there for an... more

We visited in June 2005 & were disappointed when we were told only a few galleries were open-only one painting on display and that the renovations would not be finished until 2008. What we saw was excellent especially the African carvings of masks. more

Sister Wendy's recent book about American art museums only chose a select few to examine, and one was Cleveland's. Check it out and you'll see why. They have an amazing array of varieties of art, and its armor court is very famous. Also famed is the painting "Stag at Sharkey's", which is here. I've been to many art museums and... more
