Taft Museum of Art, Art museum in downtown Cincinnati, United States
The Taft Museum of Art displays European paintings, Chinese porcelains, European decorative arts, sculptures, and furniture in a Federal-style house building.
In 1927, Charles and Anna Sinton Taft gave their home and art collection to Cincinnati, with the museum officially opening to the public in 1932.
The museum walls feature pre-Civil War murals painted by African-American artist Robert S. Duncanson, commissioned by Nicholas Longworth between 1851 and 1852.
The museum facilities include dedicated spaces for lectures, performances, a museum shop, and a café added during the 2004 renovation project.
William Howard Taft accepted his presidential nomination from the portico of this house in 1908, marking a significant moment in American political history.
