Taft Museum of Art
The Taft Museum of Art is a living landmark tucked away in downtown Cincinnati, where art and history live on the walls—and in the walls. Built around 1820 as a private home for several of Cincinnati's most prominent citizens, the Taft Museum of Art is now one of the finest small art museums in America and holds National Historic Landmark status for its historic house and Duncanson murals.
Find gems of history nestled into every nook and cranny in our period-inspired rooms—each their own canvas of creativity—that surrounds you in stories that have endured for generations. Guests can also always enjoy special exhibitions, the historic outdoor garden, our Museum Shop and Lindner Family Café, events and programming for all ages, and complimentary on-site parking.
It is all under one roof, culminating in a one-of-a-kind, multi-sensory experience that puts you at the center of art and history.
