The Cleveland Museum of Art was founded in 1913 “for the benefit of all the people forever.” It strives to help the broadest possible audience understand and engage with the world’s great art while honoring the highest aesthetic, intellectual, and professional standards. The Museum is one of the world’s most distinguished comprehensive art museums and one of northeastern Ohio’s principal civic and cultural institutions. It is also the last of the United States’ top art museums to offer free admission every day.
