From paintings by Renoir to sculptures by Alexander Calder to a vast glass collection, you'll find wonderful treasures here. Founder and first president Edward Drummond Libbey wanted to build a place where art was accessible to everyone, hence the museum's free admission policy, which continues to this day. « less

First off the museum is free, with $5 parking for all day. The museum thrives off of donations, and fund raisers. Please, donate when you visit. This museum is outstanding, and you would never believe such an impressive collection would exist in Toledo! the collection has a great many works from almost every grand master - Picaso, Monet, and more!... more

a lovely place to visit---spacious museum houses a nice collection of great art of diffeerent periods----don't expect the Met or the Louvre---but what it has is "cherce"---what we saw also included an exhibit concerning monkeys in all forms of art--that was certainly unique---there is also a "cloisters" section with medieval art--PLUS---across the street in the glass museum, you can see... more

Our kids had a fabulous time there last summer (ages 4 and 2 at the time). They have children's days on Tues./Thurs., with a different theme each week. There is a play room with theme-based toys and games, a craft room with theme-based crafts, and a special children's tour, which points out artwork related to that week's theme. There were... more

While I did not view any of the exhibits at the main building of the Art Museum I did visit the extension of the Art Museum across the street. This building houses many unique pieces of glass -- historical, contemporary, etc. Toledo was known for its glass industry, more specifically, the Libbey Glass Company. The Libbey family donated many of... more

For a smaller city, Toledo has a wonderful art museum. Everytime I go there I find something I hadn't seen before. It's usually uncrowded- with lots of room to stand back and observe. There is a new glass pavillion- and you can catch a glass blowing demonstration most times during the day. Definitely recommend this attraction during any trip to... more

My third trip to this amazing museum with my five year old granddaughter, who after the first visit was eager to return the next day . In this dying, lovely city, you certainly have at least one beautiful, place left to enjoy and grow. Don't let them take this away from you. more

We've been to art museums all over the US & Europe & we didn't expect the quality we found here to be in Toledo. I'm not being condescending; it is #70 in population in the US. An amazing treat is the glass museum across the street with a collection of art glass from antiquity through the ages in a building... more

I did not expect an art museum of this size and quality in Toledo. It was far and away the best thing we did in the city! The ancient section was wonderful. The religious section even had part of a monastery/convent in it. I usually don't like the "modern" sections, but this one was interesting. There are really just too... more

We went to the Toledo Museum of Art in late November on a Friday due to the recent opening of the glass pavillion and had a great time. Toledo has a real gem in its art museum and best of all it is free, not crowded, and the day we were there was open to 10:00 P.M.! We really enjoyed... more
