The Cleveland Museum of Art brings a broad collection to University Circle, with galleries that invite comparisons across periods and cultures.

The Cleveland Museum of Art combines a historic 1916 building with later galleries around a large atrium in University Circle. Its collections include Asian art, European and American painting, ancient and medieval objects, photography, textiles, and arms and armor.
The Armor Court and the galleries around the Rotunda give the original building a distinctive interior setting. The collection extends well beyond those rooms, with works from different periods and regions across the connected museum.
