Toledo Museum of Art

Last month, we received some great questions about our conservation work with Campiello del Remer Chandelier # 2. Today, we’re answering some of those questions.

TMA is proud that Vanessa Applebaum, James Burgess, Kacey McCreery, Misha Nalepa, Sophie Ong, and Katie Shelley have been nominated for Toledo's 20 Under 40. Having such an amazing staff is a testament to how TMA is the Model Museum!

You may be familiar with TMA's Self-Guided Audio Tours, but did you know we offer Touch Tours as well? In collaboration with the Sight Center, our Touch Tours are designed for guests who are blind or have low vision to engage with works of art. Each tour includes the opportunity to touch sculptures in the TMA galleries guided by trained Docents. These tours are free to all who are interested but must be scheduled in advance: https://bit.ly/4edLC1F

The State of Ohio has allocated $500,000 to the Toledo Museum of Art in the recent state budget. These funds will be used to enhance the infrastructure of our Glass Pavilion. Joined by State Rep. Michele Grim, MPH, LP.D. and Rhonda Sewell, our Director of Advocacy and External Affairs, TMA Director and CEO Adam Levine announced that the funding will be dedicated to replacing the Glass Pavilion’s exterior doors and canopies, with a focus on improving accessibility and energy efficiency. As the Glass Pavilion approaches its 20th anniversary, these renovations are crucial to preserving its place in our community. We extend our gratitude to the Ohio House and Senate for their support.

At the Toledo Museum of Art, our rich history includes blending various art forms. However, we've often prioritized painting and sculpture over textiles, ceramics, and glass. This outdated hierarchy is something we’ve been striving to change for years. Now, as digital art emerges as a significant medium, we're dedicated to recognizing its value from the start. By collecting digital art early, we hope to create a collection that future generations will appreciate just as much as our renowned Impressionist works. We're proud to lead in this area, embracing all art forms with inclusivity.
