Cleveland (January 27, 2022) — The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) invites you to celebrate love in all its forms from Friday, February 11, to Sunday, February 13. Explore the galleries with your loved one and enjoy a wonderful slate of exhibitions, including the thought-provoking exhibition Picturing Motherhood Now or the recently opened free exhibition Women in Print. Grab lunch in the museum’s Ames Family Atrium, Cleveland’s largest free interior public space, and purchase a sweet treat in Provenance Café. Other highlights include a love-inspired self-guided collection tour via the ArtLens App, which can be accessed on- and off-site.

You may want to bring your camera to capture the magic of your visit with couples’ selfies in front of Jacques-Louis David’s Cupid and Psyche or Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s Untitled. When you bundle up for a stroll through the Fine Arts Garden, be sure to see The Thinker sprinkled with snowflakes and Wade Lagoon’s frozen, shimmering surface.

Share your photos on Instagram stories; tag the CMA and use #CMALoveStory.

For those who wish to cuddle up at home and visit the CMA virtually, a selection of high-level, digital-engagement offerings, for which the CMA is known worldwide, is available online. Home Is Where the Art Is offers an abundance of resources and activities to enjoy the museum’s collections and includes a host of engaging programs.

The CMA’s current hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays.
