Expansion of the oil and steel industries in the late 1800s along with the growth of a vast network of railroads made Cleveland’s industrial tycoons some of the wealthiest men in the US. Three of them donated personal collections and millions of dollars to build the art museum which sits on the edge of park land donated by an earlier millionaire, Jeptha Wade, who founded Western Union Telegraph Company. The museum’s holdings are large and varied with exceptionally fine pieces from around the world. This is one of the best art museums that we’ve visited. There’s so much to see that it took us three days with visits of 2-3 hours each day to view all of the rooms. And it’s free!
The museum is very accessible. Even the doors into the exhibit galleries are automatic.
The museum parking is in a garage but metered parking is available along Wade Oval Drive or Magnolia Drive. Magnolia Drive is a couple of blocks to the north. The sidewalks are bumpy but usable and the curb cuts are a fairly good condition. Museum

ReplyDeleteNot sure if you are aware of the HTC group but I thought it was very interesting to see all different use of equipment for travel.
I often point people to HTC because of the RVs for sale on their website but I never noticed that they also have a face book page. I've thought about joining but the members seem to be older and not very active. The big thing is the yearly rally.
ReplyDeleteThe face book page has an interesting link - www.ableroad.com
I'm going to check it out and maybe add some reviews.
