The Toledo Museum of Art is a hidden gem that blew me away. From the moment I stepped in, it was a visual feast. The diversity of the collection is mind-blowing – classic masterpieces to contemporary wonders, they've got it all. The museum's design itself is like an artwork; each exhibit flows seamlessly into the next. The best part? It's not just a "look but don't touch" vibe; there are interactive elements that make the whole experience dynamic. The staff's passion and knowledge added another layer, turning a casual visit into a journey through art history. Definitely a must-visit spot in Toledo for art lovers and anyone looking to be inspired.

Came here spur of the moment from Columbus. Spent most of the time in the Marisol exhibit which just opened recently & is available through the beginning of June. Come see it if you can! I f you want to save $10 on parking check the church's parking lot which is right next to the museum.

Toledo Museum of Art has an outstanding comprehensive collection of paintings. The Victorian, Ashcan, Boston school, Postmodern and many other movements are here. Toledo also unique masterpieces that cannot be found elsewhere. These include Jeanne Cartier (by Francis Luis Mora), La Neige (by Alfred Stevens), and The Syndics of the Amsterdam Goldsmiths (by Thomas de Keyser). Some excellent works by lesser-known masters include Holman Hunt (of his deceased wife, a heart-breaking work), Tissot, Cecelia Beaux, Delaunay, and Le Sidaner. American artists Sargent, Chase, Sloan, Bellows and Homer each are represented well. They don’t hang many of the too-popular Impressionist which is a nice gift of variety. I visited the surrounding art museums and Toledo fits in well with the art museums in Cleveland, Detroit, Columbus and Cincinnati. I’d rank it just after those 4 but ahead of Dayton. It is well worth a visit. I loved it and the gift shop staff was especially kind (whomever worked the night of April 20th, thank you!).

I had a couple hours to spare in the area and went here on a whim ... what a pleasant surprise! Who knew there was so much thoughtfully curated art in Toledo? I learned about new artists, saw some familiar ones, and found myself really engaged with the labels and the questions they posed. The special exhibit on Marisol was extraordinary and the museum's curation of an exhibit raising questions about how art has contributed to or challenged American myths should be a model for other museums. And then there is the glass blowing demonstration: if you're there at the right time, by all means go! I've been to hot shop demonstrations in several other places and the commentator here far surpassed the more famous ones. The gift shop has some wonderful work by local artists and the cafe served a delicious salad. If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd be here often!

We make the hour-plus drive to Toledo to visit the art museum once, sometimes twice, a year. Why? Because they constantly reenergize the museum with interesting exhibitions and reconfigured galleries. On this occasion, we came to see the In a New Light: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism exhibition where they moved their Impressionist works over to the Glass Pavilion and enhanced it with decorative arts and paintings not often seen. For the most part, it was a nice arrangement (although needed more thought on how guests might safely and easily photograph the room). We also took in the Expanding Horizons: The Evolving Character of a Nation which definitely gives you food for thought as we saw familiar works being questioned for their content and misconceptions. Of course, a visit to the TMA demands a walk through their sculpture garden and a photo of the red Calder set in front of the classical museum building!

You're not going to believe what an amazing collection this museum has! It is one of those something-for-everyone museums with ample rooms of old masters, a big ancient courtyard filled with Greek, Roman and Egyptian pieces, an expansive African and Asian collection, and a lots of modern art. Across the street is the Glass Pavilion which features a large collection of exotic glass work. Go, see and enjoy.

We went once again to see the Museums Greek Exhibit and for the first time to see the Glass Pavilion. Even though it's obviously not the Metropolitan Museum and the collection is rather limited it is still worth to go. Don't look too close at the ancient Greek jewelry, though. A voice may shout at you that you're too close. It's a bit annoying since the small details can't be enjoyed that way. I've been to big museums with Greek collections in NYC, Chicago, Germany and Greece but I've never had that happen before. While our last visit in the same room years ago we had museum staff circling around us and I felt kind of uncomfortable. I don't think that's what paying visitors should experience twice. I find that rather unprofessional. So for me it was my last visit here. I'll will go to other museums in the future to enjoy their ancient Greek exhibits, though.

This is a lovely museum. The building itself is a gorgeous piece of history. Collection is quite good for a museum of its size, and it is especially strong in glass. The store is great, with many fine art objects that we have enjoyed buying over the years. The staff is unparalleled in friendliness.

We’ve been to many art museums over the years, in the US and abroad. The Toledo Art Museum is AMAZING! The quality and quantity of art is remarkable. Toledo is lucky to have had the Libbey family with their love of art. Unlike some museums which feel pretentious, the displays here seem more approachable. We wandered for 2.5 hours (we arrived late) and could easily have spent several more hours. There are multiple buildings as well as a sculpture garden. The museum has a nice gift shop and a cafe. We’re already planning a return trip!

Huge collection of pictures and decorative art. Great collection of Egyptian mummies. A lot of famous names. Impressionists are located in another (glass)  building - do not miss them. The receptionist was very helpful. It was worth coming all the way from Canada.
