| 説明 | Founded in 1881, the Cincinnati Art Museum was initially housed inside Music Hall prior to moving to its present location in Eden Park in 1886, with the original building having since been surrounded by newer buildings constructed in the Classical Revival and Modern styles. The first purpose-built art museum west of the Appalachian Mountains, the building complex has grown massively in size over time to accommodate an ever-growing collection, with many wings named after wealthy local benefactors who contributed their personal art collections to the museum in the early 20th Century.The 1886 Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by James W. McLaughlin, and features a rough-hewn stone exterior and roman arched bays, a grand hall beneath a mansard roof with a skylight, home to a grand staircase, and a tall tower with a pyramidal hipped roof. The building was originally intended to extend to the east, which later was carried out with the addition of the Alms Wing, designed by Rendigs, Panzer, and Martin, and built on the east side of the Grand Hall in 1937, which was a Romanesque Revival-style addition that closely matched the appearance of the original structure. In 1887, a Romanesque Revival-style building, known as the Longworth Wing, was designed by James W. McLaughlin, and constructed to the northwest of the museum to house the Art Academy of Cincinnati, which features a rough-hewn stone exterior, and was home to the Art Academy of Cincinnati until the school moved to Over-the-Rhine in 2005. The wing was modified after a fire in 1939, a fact which was later used as justification to gut the wing entirely and place a contemporary penthouse atop the exterior stone walls in a renovation project by Emersion Design completed in 2013, with the wing today housing administrative offices and the Mary R. Schiff Library and Archives.In 1907, the building was extended to the north with the Classical Revival-style Schmidlapp Wing, which was designed by Daniel H. Burnham, and presently serves as the main entrance to the building, with a portico featuring fluted doric columns, a pediment summited by an acroterion at the peak of the roof, and an architrave with triglyphs, with the interior featuring brass railings on the second floor balconies, circular handrails on the marble staircase to the second floors, and doric columns around the perimeter of the main lobby. In 1910, the Classical Revival-style Ropes Wing, designed by Garber and Woodward, was added to the north side of the original building, filling in a courtyard between the grand hall and west wing of the building, featuring a limestone facade and large openings on the first floor, which today connect the Terrace Cafe to the museum courtyard. Another series of expansions in the Classical Revival style, carried out by Garber and Woodward, extend the museum building to the north in 1930, with the addition of the Emery Wing on the north side of the original building’s west wing, stretching north to the Art Academy of Cincinnati building, the French Wing, on the eastern flank of the Art Academy of Cincinnati building, and the Hanna Wing, extending east from the French Wing to the Schmidlapp Wing, which all feature limestone exteriors with few windows, an ionic colonnade at a second-story portico on the facade of the Hanna Wing, and large window openings facing into the courtyard from the Emery Wing.The principal south facade of the original museum building and the adjacent Alms Wing were obscured behind the modernist International style Adams-Emery Wing in 1965, which was designed by Potter, Tyler, Martin and Roth, with the main entrance to the museum being shifted to the portion of the Schmidlapp Wing, and the formerly welcoming south facade being transformed into a largely windowless expanse of limestone panels, with a glass storefront at the first floor, surrounded by a frame of stone trim, and seemingly irregularly-placed storefronts and punched window openings elsewhere on the facade, lending the museum a fortress or bunker-like quality on its facade that is the most prominently visible from the adjacent park. In 1993, the museum was renovated, and portions of the facade of the original building were exposed inside the area where the Adams-Emery Wing and original wing meet, the Grand Hall inside the original structure was restored, and historic finishes were restored inside the galleries and lobbies of the building’s older wings.The Cincinnati Art Museum has continued its endeavors to improve the visitor experience in recent years, with the opening of the Art Climb in 2020, the new Wyler Family Entrance in 2022, a new arrival plaza in front of the entrance to the Schmidlapp Wing, and an increase in the diversity of artists and artworks represented in the collection and displayed within the museum. The museum today anchors the west side of Eden Park, and features the largest collection of any art museum in the state of Ohio. |
