Taft Museum of Art

At the Taft⁠—Art and History Come to Life in Ways You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

The Taft Museum of Art is recognized nationally as a museum leader that passionately engages people with the arts as envisioned generations ago by our founders, Anna Sinton Taft and Charles Phelps Taft. Today, the Taft is a truly unique art museum, holding National Historic Landmark status for both its historic house and Duncanson murals.

Here, you’ll find gems nestled into every nook and cranny with stories that have endured for generations. Our 200-year-old house holds a remarkable collection that spans the Middle Ages through the 19th century. The collection features Chinese porcelains, American furniture, and European decorative arts, including a remarkable collection of French Renaissance enamels and one of the most exceptional medieval ivory sculptures in America. The major holdings of European and American paintings include works by such leading artists as Thomas Gainsborough, Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Rembrandt van Rijn, John Singer Sargent, J. M. W. Turner, and James McNeill Whistler.

Restored and reinterpreted for the next century, visitors can enjoy special exhibitions, our beautiful outdoor garden, our Museum Shop and  Taft Café, events and programming for all ages—and so much more. Within our galleries and beyond our walls, the Taft Museum of Art is a one-of-a-kind, multi-sensory experience that puts you at the center of art and history.
