For over 200 years, Cincinnati Museum Center has been a place that ignites imaginations, inspiring epiphanies that bring mysteries to life. Ours is an institution built on the brilliance of John James Audubon, E. Lucy Braun and John A. Ruthven; on the pioneering spirit of Meriwether Lewis, Mary Emery and Neil Armstrong; on the indomitable will of Maria Longworth, Marian Spencer and William Mallory, Sr. Now, we look to future generations, seeking to encourage their own exploration, to discover their own brilliance and daring them to take the next giant leap.

Our history collections predate the modern founding of our city itself. They tell the story of our region, showing who we were, who we are and who we may yet become.
