The Alice Bimel Courtyard, one of Cincinnati Art Museum’s loveliest spaces, has been missing a bronze sculpture for several years, Harriet Whitney Frishmuth’s 1923 “The Vine.” It’s been kept indoors since conservators became alarmed about corrosion from the elements. But beginning this week, conservator Kelly Schulze will be restoring it — in the courtyard, its true home. All are invited to watch. She could be there throughout the month.
11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Thursdays, weather permitting. Free. Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
