Toledo Museum of Art

The Toledo Museum of Art features over 30,000 works spanning ancient to contemporary periods, housed in a neoclassical building with modern additions designed by renowned architects including Frank Gehry and SANAA.

Founded by Edward Drummond Libbey in 1901 and officially opened in 1912, the museum was established to promote art appreciation and cultural education in the Toledo community during the early 20th century.

The museum reflects Toledo's rich glassmaking heritage through its extensive glass collection of 5,000 pieces and the Glass Pavilion, which celebrates the city's historical connection to glass production and artistry.

Open Tuesday through Wednesday from 10:00 to 16:00, Thursday and Friday until 21:00, Saturday until 17:00, and Sunday from 12:00 to 17:00, with free admission and wheelchair accessibility throughout the facility.

The Glass Pavilion designed by SANAA architects features curved glass walls that create fluid interior spaces and blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor environments through innovative structural engineering.
