Cincinnati has a thriving arts scene with multiple art museums and galleries. A personal favorite is the Contemporary Arts Center which has rotating exhibits so there's always something new to see. Located in downtown Cincinnati, even the building it is housed in is a work of art. The Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art has been called "the most important American building to be completed since the end of the cold war." The first floor is the lobby and holds a café which doesn't require museum admission. The sixth floor has been dubbed the UnMuseum® and is a wonderful space for children to interact with art. The Contemporary Arts Center has a terrific education program--both for children and adults.
