The Taft gets some great exhibits. The Women’s Sport Clothing Exhibit is here through January 14, 2024. I go to lots of art exhibits and this one is one of my favorites. We did one of their high teas. It was tasty and the harp player greatly added to the ambience. The Taft Mansion makes for a perfect backdrop for their art collection. The gift shop always has an interesting selection of offerings.
We went on a Sunday and it's complimentary admissions. You would need to pay on others days.The museum exceeded my expectations. We booked the ticket online and admission was a breeze. Thoroughly enjoyed the time there. There is also free parking at the museum itself.
The building and art were beautiful. Most of the art is the same style so I felt like everything after the first half of the museum was basically a repeat. I was surprised by how little there was to see. Felt like we explored maybe 1/3 of the building. Entry is on the side of the building, not the big front door.
Bought tickets online ($2 cheaper!), and went with two children (both free), and found all staff super friendly and informative, especially the woman at the front desk. Sundays are free, so I assume the museum is much busier that day than when we went. The art collection is compact, but labels are informative, especially the "More to the Story" additions. My children read them all, and even talked about them on the way home, so those were a great choice. They also enjoyed looking for the "Top 10." It took us about an hour to get through the museum, so it's a nice little diversion, but don't expect to spend an entire day. I would definitely go back, highly recommended.
Great museum to visit! Somewhat expensive for what they have to offer but still a must see. I thought everything was really really incredible and interesting especially because I am into fashion and costuming. The parking garage was filled when we arrived so we had to find parking so make sure to factor that in! Loved it! Would definitely go back again!
Had a great experience at the Taft Museum. We went to see the Fashion and Sensibility exhibit, as we are fans of Jane Austen movies! The exhibit was well done and it was worth the trip! The museum also has several nice pieces. It was a great visit! Plan on coming back and seeing more of the grounds.
Very enjoyable to walk through. The exhibit pieces were amazing to see. The only downfall is the lighting, if you want to read the plaque describing the piece, a buzzer goes off or a recording plays.
The museum held the Jane Austen collection and it was really nice, all the pieces look like the same pieces worn in "The Bridgertons". The actual museum had a lot of historic pieces that were owned by the Tafts and Mrs. Taft Dad who initially owned the house. From jewelry boxes,to clothing styles and furniture.
To think that this collection belongs to the City and the people of Cincinnati. Only takes a couple hours to see the whole thing. Rembrandt hangs amongst other amazing art. No stanchions between you and masterpieces. Photography allowed just no flashes. Free on site parking. Well worth the price of admission. Sundays are free.
Relatively small however there was quality works of art to admire. Two floors they do have an elevator though. There is also a parking garage, small number of spots. We went around 2pm and there was a sign saying the parking was full... there 25% empty spots. The traveling exhibition was of Jane Austin outfits which I throughly enjoyed. There was a restaurant on the first floor though we did not stop to eat. We went on aSunday, no cost for admission.
