History

Parking and general admission are both free.

Public art museums were still a relatively new phenomenon in the late nineteenth century, especially as far west as Cincinnati. However, by the 1800s, the city had established itself as one of the most important centers of art and design in the Midwest, and the establishment of an art museum seemed to many to be the next logical step. This included members of the Women's Art Museum Association, which was founded in 1877 to promote the benefits of such a facility to the community. Support for an art museum grew steadily, thanks in large part to their tireless efforts, and a public subscription attracted enough contributions to secure the project's future in 1881.
