The Early Cincinnati Galleries At The Cincinnati Art Museum Have Reopened

The Cincinnati ArtMuseum?'sEarly Cincinnati galleries in the Cincinnati Wing reopened on the first of this month. These galleries tell the first chapter in the story of the Cincinnati Wing, detailing the city?'s rise as an artistic center from its founding in the late 18th century through the years leading to the Civil War.

Recent renovations allow for the galleries to lead chronologically into the other galleries of the Cincinnati Wing for the first time since the Wing'?s debut in 2003.

Joining us from the Cincinnati Art Museum to discuss the galleries are Amy Dehan, curator of Decorative Arts and Design; and, Julie Aronson, curator of American Painting, Sculpture and Drawings.
