This Contemporary Art Museum is impressive. The space is huge, beautifully designed, and perfect for exploring modern creativity. One of the best aspects is how family-friendly it is: the museum offers plenty of engaging exhibits and interactive sections that make it an excellent place for children to learn, discover, and develop their artistic curiosity.

When I arrived here, I bought a ticket and after buying the ticket, they let me know. The only two floors were open, the kids making place floor and the visiting artist so it only took me 30 minutes to go through the whole Gallery that I paid full price.

Great architecture designed by Zaha Hadid. The museum features many art works from native Ohio artists. The art studio and kids space on the top floor is filled with activities.

This is a must see! You seriously have to check this exhibit out. My only issue was that it was a little confusing navigating through the different exhibits. It was hard knowing which was the correct way of starting and navigating through everything. Some prices weren't labelled in the gift shop. And the discount code for weekday admissions wouldn't work. Other than that, everything was great!

Fun museum! The building itself is art with its industrial look. Funky stairs, wall angles, etc. The top floor has an entire set-up to make your own art. They have a small cafe and gift shop.
