Delve into a rich history that spans three millennia of Spanish culture with the Cincinnati Art Museum. Over 200 works of art and historical documents from Spain and Latin America, including Roman Spain, will be featured in this ticked exhibition opening Oct. 25. Treasures of a Spanish World will take you from Medieval times all the way to the early 20th century; you can expect to see a little bit of everything — paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, works on paper. Having debuted at Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid — and later on view in Mexico City and Albuquerque, New Mexico — many of these works have never been on exhibition outside of Hispanic Society of America in New York City and some pieces have never been exhibited at all. Oct. 25, 2019-Jan.19, 2020. $10; free for members. Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
