Such an impressive museum! We found meter parking on the street and felt save. The enclosed courtyard reminded me of Europe. The cafe was affordable and offered options for various types of eaters. The gift shop was beautiful. We enjoyed the various exhibits, especially the Austrian armory. Appreciated the free entrance.

Excellent museum. Appears to be very well funded, superb public spaces and displays. Lots of attentive staff. The building alone is worth visiting. Art displays are well lit, displayed with lots of open space. World-class.

Cleveland Museum of Art is an immersive artistic experience with astounding works on display. Their American collection has great works by Bohm, Cox, Wyeth, Wood and Hopper. There’s more with Sloan, Prendergast, Tarbell, Sargent and Chase. German works by Perchstein, Kirchner are solid but they have a fantastic work by Gabrielle Munter (titled Future). French works go beyond the standard Impressionism and have Bonnard, Vuillard and lesser-known masters on display. A giant Rousseau is great. 7 Picasso works hang in chronologic order, spanning more than 40 years and let you really see how the Spaniard evolved. Madame Lerolle is featured in two paintings, both fantastic. I enjoyed the brightest Odilon Redon flower painting here. Not a typical fan of Georgian-era art, they have a Thomas Lawrence double portrait that is the most beautiful thing you’ll see. Older work by El Greco and Zubaran are large and excellent. Knowing lots of artists, I was still happy to find someone I’d not known before: Gitane Endormie who’s “Sleeping Gypsy” is among the loveliest painting they have. I wish the gift shop had more postcards of all this art. I would have bought them all. This is the best museum in the state (and they have some awesome ones with Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo).

I love art museums and had high expectations for this one ... and it far, far exceeded them. The architecture is astonishing and worth a visit alone; the glass enclosed space is so light-filled and the newer galleries are beautifully designed. The collection is diverse and not too overwhelming, the curation is thoughtful, and the special exhibitions were really engaging. If I lived in Cleveland, I'd visit often!

Have been to many worldly Art Museums, but this one won! Beautiful layouts in such a wide variety of media and Art. Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh my favorite artist to Dali. An AFRICA & BYZANTIUM Exhibit that amazed me with all the artifacts never seen a must, amazingly done! There is a small cost but I was delighted to pay for such quality of work. A nice cafe & gift shop. Disability Accessable and great restrooms. You can also walk to other museums and park in area from parking garage where there is also a small charge.

We were blown away by this museum. They've done a fantastic job preserving the old building from 1916 but creating a new space, and the collection itself was impressive. It seems like they had at least "1 of everything," ranging from every era and country imaginable. And FREE!! Not very crowded when we went on a Tuesday in June. We spent about 2.5 hours there, and we could have spent even more. A wonderful jewel for the city of Cleveland.

We were blown away by the quality of this museum. I’ve been to large museums in many countries on 3 continents. The Cleveland Museum of Art is truly world class. And it’s free for the main areas. Great use of technology and an awesome open area between the halls. You need at least 2 hours for a quick walk and view, probably need 3 hours or perhaps more to grab a snack or beverage and enjoy the architecture as a nice break. And to be clear, I’m not a big art guy - just enjoy a nice stroll though a major art museum once in a while. We found street parking near the south entrance was easy to find and cost $0.75 in coin per hour.

CMA astonished us with the depth and breadth of its collection (and we’re from the DC area and travel a lot, so we’ve seen many, many art museums). This one is world-class. We could have spent two full days there, had we had the time. The permanent collection is outstanding (including a divine Tiffany collection), and there were two wonderful special exhibits — one comparing five Monet paintings (two from CMA, three from Paris) and one with illustrations from fairy tales and fables. The building itself is stunning, there’s a fine gift shop, and the staff are so much more knowledgeable than in many museums. They really took the time to help and advise. We are looking forward to another visit to Cleveland so we can spend more time at CMA. Plan to spend at least a full day,

It is consistently rated as one of the best art museums in the country and we could not disagree with that appraisal. We spent three hours in the museum and saw less than half of the objects on display. The museum itself has no admission charge; special exhibitions were available -- some had admission charges, others did not. There was a parking charge, but we couldn't complain when the building itself was free. Two exhibits that I particularly wanted to see -- "Monet in Focus" and "Inside the Seven-Jeweled Mountain" -- were free, but I would gladly have paid. The museum has an extensive display of medieval armor which should excite anyone like myself interested in medieval history. The art displayed is wide-ranging and provides an excellent capsule overview of art from many cultures and historical periods. We live seven hours away by car, but are already planning a return trip when we can stay a full day. Even if we spend a full seven hours there, I suspect we will miss some of this museum's treasures!

Excellent Cleveland attraction with something for everyone: paintings, sculptures, beautiful furniture, archeology artifacts, Faberge, and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Cafe inside the courtyard to rest and recharge if attempting to visit the entire museum in one visit. As it is free, if you do become museum’d out, also possible to split your visit across multiple days. Cleveland Botanical Gardens is also within walking distance so possible to park once and visit both.
