American Sign Museum, Art collection in Cincinnati, United States.
The American Sign Museum is a collection of over 500 signs and objects displayed in a large space with a recreated historical street. The displays feature commercial signs from different periods of American history.
The museum was founded in 1999, building on a family that had been publishing a trade journal about signs since 1911. It opened to visitors in 2005.
The collection shows how businesses once advertised and what symbols people recognized in their daily lives. You can see clearly how commercial signs evolved through different decades and reflected changing tastes.
The museum offers guided tours and demonstrations of neon sign restoration that show visitors how these works are preserved. You can take time to explore the different areas at your own pace.
A towering 20-foot-tall fiberglass genie sculpture looms above the entrance and serves as a recognizable landmark. Inside you can find a rare 1963 McDonald's sign featuring the original Speedee character.
