The Cincinnati Art Museum opened galleries 103-105 on the first floor to the public for the first time this past fall, providing curators with another dedicated space to showcase artwork from the institution’s vast permanent collection. The Antiquities and Cincinnati Wing galleries on the first floor were also recently renovated, but the big recent to-do is that the CAM has finally reopened the third floor, which closed in the fall of 2012 to facilitate the move of staff members and the content of the Schiff Library and Archives into the Longworth Wing. Twenty works by such living artists as Ellsworth Kelly, Mary Miss and Ana England — whose commissioned large-scale ceramic installation is displayed — will be on view in the recently reopened third-floor galleries, which also includes new juxtapositions and labeling.
Museum hours 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Closed Christmas Day. Free admission. 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, cincinnatiartmuseum.org.
