Chamber Music in the Atrium with Piano Cleveland: Chaeyoung Park
Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 12:00–1:00 p.m.
Ames Family Atrium
Free; No Ticket Required
The Cleveland Museum of Art partners with Piano Cleveland to present this spring’s Chamber Music in the Atrium lunchtime concert series, which occurs on February 24, March 24, April 21, and May 12 at 12:00 p.m. Each performer presents a captivating piano performance and provides background on the works performed.
Praised as a passionate pianist who “does not play a single note without thought or feeling” (New York Concert Review), Chaeyoung Park has emerged as one of today’s most compelling young artists. She has medaled in numerous competitions, including the Cleveland International Piano Competition for Young Artists. In 2019, she became the first female Korean pianist to win the Hilton Head International Piano Competition, which led to her Carnegie Hall solo debut. This past season, she appeared as a concerto soloist with the Maryland Symphony, Eugene Symphony, Mobile Symphony, and Redlands Symphony. Upcoming engagements include the Steinway Societies of the Bay Area and Western Pennsylvania, as well as her much-anticipated return to Bravo! Vail. Park earned her bachelor and master of music degrees at the Juilliard School, where she was a Gina Bachauer Scholar and a Kovner Fellow and received the Arthur Rubinstein Award upon graduation.
The Brad Mehldau Trio with Felix Moseholm and Jorge Rossy
Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 7:30–9:00 p.m.
Gartner Auditorium, Suzanne and Paul Westlake Performing Arts Center
Grammy Award–winning jazz pianist Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau’s most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format, which he brings to his debut in Gartner Auditorium.
One of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Mehldau has forged a unique path, which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism, and pop allure. From critical acclaim as a bandleader to major international exposure in collaborations with Pat Metheny, Renée Fleming, and Joshua Redman, Mehldau continues to garner numerous awards and admiration from both jazz purists and music enthusiasts alike. His forays into melding musical idioms, in both trio and solo settings, have seen brilliant reworkings of songs by contemporary songwriters like the Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, George Gershwin, and Nick Drake, alongside the ever-evolving breadth of his own significant catalogue of original compositions. With his self-proclaimed affection for popular music and classical training, “Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years.” (The New York Times)
The Isidore String Quartet with Jeremy Denk
Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 7:30–9:00 p.m.
Gartner Auditorium, Suzanne and Paul Westlake Performing Arts Center
Ticket Required (opens in a new tab)
The Cleveland Museum of Art has partnered with the Cleveland Chamber Music Society to present the Isidore String Quartet, featuring pianist Jeremy Denk. Tickets must be purchased on the Cleveland Chamber Music Society’s website (opens in a new tab).
Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the New York City–based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertoire. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of “approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.”
In North America, the Isidore String Quartet has appeared on major series in Boston, New York, Berkeley, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Durham, Washington, Houston, San Francisco, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and has collaborated with several eminent performers, including James Ehnes and Jeremy Denk (with whom the group is pleased to reunite with for the CMA performance).
In Europe, the quartet has performed at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and in Bonn (Beethoven Haus), Stuttgart, Cologne, and Dresden, among many others.
Both on stage and outside the concert hall, the Isidore Quartet is deeply invested in connecting with youth and elderly populations and with marginalized communities that otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance. The quartet approaches music as a “playground” and attempts to break down barriers to encourage collaboration and creativity.
“A polished sonority and well-balanced, tightly synchronized ensemble with nearly faultless intonation. . . . It is heartening to know that chamber music is in good hands with such gifted young ensembles as the Isidore Quartet.” (Chicago Classical Review)
Jeremy Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists, proclaimed by The New York Times as “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.” Denk is also a New York Times best-selling author, a recipient of both the MacArthur Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Denk is known for his interpretations of the music of American visionary Charles Ives and has performed frequently at Carnegie Hall, also working with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, and San Francisco Symphony in recent years. Meanwhile, he has performed multiple times at the BBC Proms and Klavierfestival Ruhr and appeared in such halls as the Köln Philharmonie, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and Boulez Saal in Berlin.
Program:
Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in B-flat Major, op. 76, no. 4, “Sunrise”

New This Month
France in the Time of Manet and Morisot
Sunday, May 10–Sunday, August 23, 2026
Mark Schwartz and Bettina Katz Photography Galleries | Gallery 230
Free; No Ticket Required
Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot lived during a tumultuous yet fertile period in France. Events included war and the loss of territory; modernization and the rise of industry; and a shift from rural to urban living. As both artists were living in Paris, it became the largest city in continental Europe and the arts capital of the world. Manet and Morisot’s lifetimes also coincided with the birth and rise of a new art form—photography—which recorded many of these social, political, and cultural changes.
Masters of the new medium such as Charles Marville and Édouard-Denis Baldus were commissioned by the Emperor Napoleon III, the Louvre museum, and the railroads to document both historic monuments and the construction of new architectural and engineering marvels throughout the country. This era also saw the rise of celebrity portraiture and of the general public as patron. Actresses such as Sarah Bernhardt and popular authors Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, Alexandre Dumas, and others sat for photographers such as Nadar, André-Adolphe-Eugene Disderi, Gustave Le Gray, and Étienne Carjat. The resulting portraits were printed—and sold—in large quantities to meet a soaring public demand for portraits of the luminaries of the time. When the rising urban middle class sought to have their own likenesses recorded, they flocked to the same studios.
In this exhibition, drawn from the museum’s rich holdings of 19th-century French photography, we can feel that we, like the photographers, are eyewitnesses to the transformation of France in the 1800s. This show was organized to complement Manet & Morisot, on view in the Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Gallery from March 29 through July 5, 2026.
This exhibition is made possible with support from Anne T. and Donald F. Palmer.
Provenance: Journeys of Korean Art
Sunday, May 10–Sunday, October 18, 2026
Location: Korea Foundation Gallery | Gallery 236
Free; No Ticket Required
This installation in the Korea Foundation Gallery highlights the captivating stories behind how works of art entered the museum’s collection. Not all arrived as a purchase from art dealers or auction houses—some emerged from on-site research trips that led to unexpected discoveries, while others were welcomed through generous gifts and donations. A Royal Outing, an 1800s Korean folding screen on loan from the Allen Memorial Art Museum in Oberlin, Ohio, for example, left its home in Seoul as a farewell gift from a Korean king to his American English teacher. The Amitabha Triad was an unexpected find in a pawn shop during a curator’s early-1900s research trip. Meanwhile, the Portrait of a Court Official once belonged to a Danish doctor who cherished it as a memento of his time in 1960s Seoul before it entered the museum’s collection.
These extraordinary objects remind us that transparent provenance, or history of ownership, not only upholds ethical collecting practices but also reveals compelling stories—narratives that illuminate the cultural, social, and political worlds in which these works of art changed hands.
The Plum Scenery Studio: Wu Hufan and His Circle in Modern Shanghai
Sunday, May 31–Sunday, November 15, 2026
Clara T. Rankin Suite of Chinese Art Galleries | Gallery 240A
Free; No Ticket Required
Wu Hufan (Chinese, 1894–1968) was one of the most influential and important collectors and artists of modern Shanghai. Many paintings in the CMA’s collection bear his collector seals or inscriptions express his art expertise. This installation presents about 20 artworks from the museum and private collections, including five recent gifts to the CMA, all of which illustrate the exchanges and relationships Wu Hufan entertained with his students, painters, and poets of the time.
Final Days and Weeks
Juxtaposition and Juncture in Korean Modern and Contemporary Art
Through May 3, 2026
Korea Foundation Gallery | Gallery 236
Free; No Ticket Required
The term “juxtaposition” here refers to the side-by-side placement of two or more artworks that are significantly different from one another. Featuring Korean modern and contemporary objects that the CMA has collected over the past 15 years, this thematic exhibition juxtaposes them to create an exciting juncture of connections through their visual and material contrasts.
While the selected works were created by Korean artists from diverse backgrounds and different generations, they make a poignant meeting place illustrating how objects from the past inspired contemporary artists to create new experiences and artistic expressions.
Adorning Ritual: Jewish Ceremonial Art from the Jewish Museum, New York
Through Sunday, May 10, 2026
Various Galleries
Free; No Ticket Required
The Cleveland Museum of Art houses an encyclopedic collection, giving visitors valuable insights and perspectives into the lives and cultures of people around the world and throughout time. To enhance its permanent collection and to more fully represent the stories and objects important to our communities, the museum is displaying art on loan from the Jewish Museum, New York, in six galleries.
Most of the works are ritual objects relating to Judaism or the lives of Jewish people, from silver Torah finials to an inlaid marble panel commemorating a marriage. The objects have been placed in context with other works of the same time or region, allowing a fuller narrative to unfold. As you encounter these objects in the galleries, we invite you to consider their relationships to the other works in these spaces.
In addition to the loans from the Jewish Museum, two examples of Jewish ceremonial art from local collections are on display in two additional galleries: an etrog box recently acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art and a miniature Torah ark on loan from the Mishkan Or Museum of Jewish Cultures in Beachwood, Ohio.
Principal support is provided by Rebecca and David Heller and Gail and Elliott Schlang. Additional support is provided by Michael Frank and the late Pat Snyder, Richard A. Horvitz and Erica Hartman-Horvitz, Mr. and Mrs. David D. Kahan, Marjorie Moskovitz Kanfer and Joseph Kanfer, Dr. Linda M. Sandhaus and Dr. Roland S. Philip, and the Simon Family Foundation, a supporting foundation of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
A Myriad of Flowers and Birds in Chinese Art
Through Sunday, May 24, 2026
Clara T. Rankin Suite of Chinese Art Galleries | Gallery 240A
Free; No Ticket Required
For artists of historical China, the natural world was a major source of inspiration. Birds and flowers reflect nature’s beauty in an ideal way. Bird-and-flower paintings were not only appreciated for their decorative appeal and artistic merit, the motifs may also have symbolic connotation and sometimes form a rebus, a visual and auditory pun, to express good wishes to the recipient.
This display presents around 20 paintings, porcelain, and embroidery from the collections of the museum and a private collector, some of which have not been shown to the public before.
This display is dedicated to the memory of the late Clara T. Rankin, museum trustee and lover of birds and flowers.

The Dr. Ranajit K. Datta Distinguished Lecture in Indian Art
Interpreting Sita’s Abduction in Early Indian Art
Sunday, May 3, 2026, 2:00–3:00 p.m.
Gartner Auditorium, Suzanne and Paul Westlake Performing Arts Center
Free; Ticket Required
Speaker: Naman Parmeshwar Ahuja, Professor of Indian Art and Architecture at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
Surprisingly, the earliest depictions of the dramatic scene of Sita’s abduction in the Rāmāyaṇa, a fundamentally Hindu text, are found rather in early Buddhist contexts ranging from 200 BCE to 200 CE. Besides sculptures and other archaeological finds, versions of this story also appear in ancient Buddhist and Jain texts from different regions, written in languages such as Prakrit, Pali, and Chinese. Does this suggest that ancient religious identities were more flexible than previously thought? Additionally, the prevalence of Sita’s abduction shows that stories about the abduction of women were very popular. Does this reflect how society at the time normalized a patriarchal view of desire?
Naman P. Ahuja is a professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, specializing in South Asia’s art history. He is the general editor of Marg and a curator who, through his numerous publications and exhibitions, has drawn attention to the foundations of Indian visual iconography and aesthetics, the simultaneous demands of decolonization and transculturalism as well as matters of gender and religious culture.

Keithley Symposium: Thinking Through Martin Puryear: Nexus
Saturday, May 30, 2026, 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Gartner Auditorium, Suzanne and Paul Westlake Performing Arts Center
Free; Ticket Required
One of the most celebrated and influential artists of our time, Martin Puryear (American, born 1941) has created for more than half a century work with captivating presence that is at once technically precise and conceptually expansive. Working primarily in sculpture, his art is abstract. Puryear relies on material, shape, composition, and scale to invite reflection on the world that we inhabit and the times in which we live.
Puryear’s art has a remarkable capacity to open up questions across media and disciplines. On the occasion of the artist’s career survey Martin Puryear: Nexus, this symposium treats his work as a portal to think through a range of practices, materials, and traditions that are central to global art of our time. The panel’s topics are rooted in key concepts that stem from the forms and themes, materials, and processes, on view in Martin Puryear: Nexus. In this sense, the symposium offers a variety of entry points into the exhibition, to speak to a range of audiences. The panels are composed of scholars, curators, and artists from Cleveland and beyond.
The symposium schedule with information on speakers is forthcoming. Note that this is an in-person event and will not be recorded.

Continuing Exhibitions
still/emerging: Native American Works on Paper
Through Sunday, June 7, 2026
James and Hanna Bartlett Prints and Drawings Galleries | Galleries 101A–B
Free; No Ticket Required
still/emerging: Native American Works on Paper is the first exhibition to highlight the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection of prints and drawings by Native American artists. In 2022, the creation of the museum’s Indigenous Peoples and Land Acknowledgment inspired a commitment to greatly strengthen its holdings in this important field. The title of this show comes from a poem on Indigenous survivance by Navajo poet Kinsale Drake and references the fact that the CMA land acknowledgment serves “not as an end but rather as the beginning” of an ongoing collaboration with our Native community members. The objects on view survey the ways in which Native artists have innovatively used various print and drawing techniques to explore their cultural heritage.
This exhibition includes around 30 works created from the 1950s through today that showcase the unique histories and perspectives of Indigenous artists from a number of backgrounds and tribal affiliations. Featured are works ranging from a series of powerful woodcut portraits by T. C. Cannon (Kiowa-Caddo, 1946–1978) to a set of deeply symbolic color lithographs by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, 1940–2025). The presentation also includes work by multimedia artists, such as Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke/Crow, born 1981), Kay WalkingStick (American, Member of the Cherokee Nation/Oklahoma, born 1935), Nicholas Galanin (Tlingít/Unangax̂, born 1979), Edgar Heap of Birds (Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations, born 1954), and Rose B. Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo, born 1983), among others, to shed new light on the importance of the graphic arts within their contemporary practices. Community voice labels by members of the museum’s Native American Advisory Committee, who have been involved in the museum’s efforts, highlight the local impact of this growing collection at the CMA.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the Malcolm E. Kenney Curatorial Research Fund.
Highlights of Japanese Art
Through Sunday, June 14, 2026
Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Japanese Art Galleries | Galleries 235A–B
Free; No Ticket Required
These galleries feature recent acquisitions in dialogue with treasures from the museum’s world-renowned collection of Japanese art. The impressive, large-scale Welcoming Descent of Amida with 25 Bodhisattvas from the mid-1300s is displayed alongside the important early 1300s handscroll The Illustrated Miraculous Origins of the Yūzū Nenbutsu School, which depicts Buddhists interacting with paintings of Amida in descent.
A diminutive sculpture from the 1100s of Gozu Tennō, the ox-headed plague deity, is on view with a large Buddhist sketch and an image of Zaō Gongen, the deity of Mount Kinpu, both also from the same period. Together, these works of art show how Buddhist iconography informed how other gods were represented.
Five small-scale Nabeshima dishes showcase the versatility of ceramists in northern Kyushu during the 1600s and early 1700s, while a complex pair of early 1600s screens depict the arrival of European traders to the port city of Nagasaki.
Manet & Morisot
Through Sunday, July 5, 2026
The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Gallery
Manet & Morisot is the first ever major exhibition dedicated to the artistic exchange between Édouard Manet, often referred to as the father of modern painting, and Berthe Morisot, the only woman among the founding members of the Impressionist movement. Unfolding over a period of roughly 15 years, between 1868 and 1883, theirs was perhaps the closest relationship between any two members of the Impressionist circle. As friends and colleagues—by turns collaborative and competitive—they collected one another’s work. Morisot posed for some of Manet’s most compelling portraits, several of which are on view in the first gallery of the exhibition. When she married Manet’s younger brother, their professional connection deepened into a familial bond. Thirty-six paintings and seven drawings and prints borrowed from museums and private collections in the United States and Europe reveal the evolution of a singular friendship between two groundbreaking artists.
Visitors see beach and garden scenes made en plein air (out-of-doors) that demonstrate how Manet borrowed individual motifs and compositional ideas directly from Morisot. Portraits of fashionable Parisian women of the 1880s by the two artists show their different perspectives; Manet’s paintings were inspired by admiration and erotic interest while Morisot’s were informed by lived experience. The exhibition closes with a self-portrait by Morisot painted when she was in her mid-40s, revealing her perception of herself as a professional artist.
This exhibition is organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Presented by Bank of America.
Generous support is provided by Anne T. and Donald F. Palmer. Additional support is provided by Carl M. Jenks.
This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
Martin Puryear: Nexus
Through Sunday, August 9, 2026
The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Hall and Gallery 224B
The Cleveland Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, co-organize the most comprehensive exhibition of Martin Puryear’s (American, born 1941) career in nearly two decades. Developed in close collaboration with Puryear, this exhibition introduces new audiences to one of the most celebrated and influential artists of our time.
Puryear’s singular work across mediums illuminates the expressive potential for abstraction in the present moment. Martin Puryear: Nexus begins with work from the early 1960s and follows the artist’s innovations in form, material, and process since then. Visitors encounter new works that make their first appearance in this show, alongside sculptures that are iconic and those that have not been exhibited publicly in decades. Sculpture, the medium for which Puryear is best known, is integrated with prints, drawings, and documentation of the outdoor commissions that the artist has created around the world.
Martin Puryear: Nexus highlights the global histories that have inspired Puryear’s practice, offering a fresh and timely perspective on his impactful body of work. Puryear’s art is renowned for its elegance and beauty. While accentuating the work’s visual allure, this exhibition and its accompanying catalogue look beyond form. The exhibition’s interpretive frame, rooted in new scholarship, sheds light on the ways that the artist’s unique visual vocabulary has been shaped by his enduring interests in global traditions of material culture, African American history, and the natural world.
Martin Puryear: Nexus is accompanied by an expansive and richly illustrated catalogue. Designed and published by the Cleveland Museum of Art, with distribution by Yale University Press, this publication is anchored by five essays authored by a new generation of scholars: Rizvana Bradley, Joan Kee, Emily Liebert, Michelle Millar Fisher, and Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi. Additional perspectives enter the book through a series of responses to individual works, contributed by thinkers and makers from a range of disciplines, many of whom are longtime interlocutors of the artist, including Nairy Baghramian, Alex Da Corte, Thelma Golden, Tom Joyce, Maya Lin, Kerry James Marshall, Pam Paulson, Julia Phillips, Charles Ray, and Billie Tsien. Alongside these contemporary perspectives, the catalogue features archival materials that have never been published.
Presented by the Henry Luce Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Principal support is provided by the late Agnes Gund. Generous support is provided by the Gottlob family in loving memory of Milford Gottlob, MD and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support is provided by Kenneth H. Kirtz and family.
Following the CMA, Martin Puryear: Nexus travels to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Epic of the Northwest Himalayas: Pahari Paintings from the “‘Shangri’ Ramayana”
Through Sunday, August 16, 2026
Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery | Gallery 010
Free; No Ticket Required
Forty paintings are reunited from a widely dispersed pictorial series that presents the story of the Hindu divine hero Rama. The timeless tale, more than 2,000 years old, remains a cultural force across southern Asia. Potent themes of righteousness, vengeance, and loyalty are explored through dramatic episodes in which demons are vanquished, lovers are separated, and monkeys, bears, and a man-eagle save the day. Magic abounds, and emotions fly with warriors’ arrows. Three digital stations present more than 100 gently animated images of paintings from multiple collections reassembled into their original episodic sequences.
Created with blazing colors for a royal collection around 1700, the “Shangri” Ramayana has been a beloved and enigmatic series among scholars and collectors for the past century. New evidence from previously unpublished paintings reveals many more artistic styles and triple the number of total folios than have been previously recognized. It argues in favor of a collaborative model of production involving artists from across the alpine region of Pahari India, which straddles the present-day state of Himachal Pradesh and that of Jammu and Kashmir.
Twelve lenders generously contributed to this focused exhibition. The unbound pictorial series began to be divided as early as the 1760s, suggesting that its spiritual merit was intended to be shared among multiple owners. Its title derives from the kingdom of Shangri, where a member of the royal family sold his 275 folios to a dealer in Delhi, beginning in 1962. Hundreds more paintings, however, have been in other royal collections.
The exhibition celebrates the publication of the Catherine Glynn Benkaim and Ralph Benkaim Collection of Pahari paintings, which includes three pages of the “Shangri” Ramayana that are on view and contextualized in Epic of the Northwest Himalayas.
Principal support is provided by William Roj and Mary Lynn Durham. Major support is provided by V. V. Rajadhyaksha, DLZ Corp. Generous support is provided by the Bagri Foundation.
Pintoricchio Magnified: An Immersive Conservation Experience
Through Sunday, August 23, 2026
Gallery 115
Free; No Ticket Required
Through a digital immersive experience, step into the conservation studio and get a behind-the-scenes look at the materials and techniques conservators use to preserve paintings in the CMA collection.
For almost 50 years, Pintoricchio’s Virgin and Child (c. 1490–1500) was in storage at the CMA, its last original layers of blue paint hidden beneath a mask of restoration treatments undertaken in the 1900s. Although considered one of the most significant paintings within the early Italian collection, its complicated restoration history and physical state rendered it largely unexhibitable.
In the most recent conservation treatment, original paint layers were revealed, allowing unparalleled access to Pintoricchio’s original composition, freed from past interventions. This allowed conservators to embark on the rediscovery and reexamination of one of the more damaged paintings within the CMA collection and use cutting-edge technologies to better understand the materials and techniques used by the artist. Through a large digital display, visitors can traverse the layers of the painting and its conservation treatment, examining changing details as if magnified under a microscope.
This exhibition is made possible with support from Jared and Linda Buono Chaney and Carl M. Jenks.
All activities of the Eric T. and Jane Baker Nord Family Conservation Suite are underwritten by the CMA Fund for Conservation.
All digital innovation and technology initiatives at the Cleveland Museum of Art are underwritten by the CMA Digital Innovation Fund.
Pahari Paintings: Art and Stories
Through Sunday, September 13, 2026
Gallery 242B
Free; No Ticket Required
In the far north of India, the Himalayan mountain ranges rise abruptly from the Punjab plains to form the alpine region known as Pahari, defined by a shared language (Pahari) and script (Takri). From the 1600s to 1900s, the Hindu nobility of the Pahari kingdoms commissioned paintings for their royal collections. Known as “Pahari paintings,” they were made by painters who were born into hereditary artist communities located in villages throughout the region. By the end of the 1900s, many descendants of royal families dispersed them, and they became some of the most popular and widely collected genres of Indian painting in the world.
This installation celebrates the CMA’s 2018 acquisition and 2026 publication of the Pahari paintings from the renowned Catherine Glynn Benkaim and Ralph Benkaim Collection. It includes portraits of key patrons, a large-scale historical painting on cloth, and paintings of religious and poetic subjects. A special feature on paintings from a mystical romance, the Madhavanala-Kamakandala, reveals the complex dynamic between visual and literary arts, the sacred and the secular, Hindu and Muslim, local and mainstream. Two double-sided embroideries, known as rumal, showcase textile art made by Pahari women in collaboration with painters who were predominantly men. These 23 works of art summarize the scope of Pahari painting.
This show was organized to complement Epic of the Northwest Himalayas: Pahari Paintings from the “‘Shangri’ Ramayana” on view in the Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery from April 19 through August 16, 2026.

Jon A. Lindseth and Virginia M. Lindseth, PhD, Galleries of the Ancient Americas | Gallery 232
Free; No Ticket Required
Between about 3000 BCE and the early 1500s CE, ancient Andean weavers created one of the world’s most distinguished textile traditions in both artistic and technical terms. Within this time span, the most complex and well-preserved group of early textiles to survive was made by the Paracas people of Peru’s south coast.
Hidden Insights: Looking at the Backs of Portrait Miniatures
Through Sunday, February 14, 2027
Ellen and Bruce Mavec Gallery | Gallery 203B
Free; No Ticket Required
Portrait miniatures were portable luxury objects treasured by their owners both for the cherished portrait and the precious materials from which they were crafted. Frequently, patrons would spend substantially more than the cost of the portrait to have it placed in a gold or silver case outfitted with pearls, enamel, diamonds, colored glass, or elaborate hair work. Thirteen miniatures spanning 230 years represent a variety of approaches to ornamenting the back of a portrait and suggest the wealth of information that can be hidden from view.
Children’s Armor from the Imperial Habsburg Armory in Vienna
Through Sunday, June 4, 2028
Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Armor Court | Gallery 210A
Free; No Ticket Required
Four historically significant suits of armor from the Imperial Habsburg Armory in Vienna, Austria, are being displayed in the armor court for the next three years. The selection focuses on children’s armor and weapons to illustrate how a military education played an important role in training boys to become a knight. A few objects from the CMA’s own collection of children’s armor are being shown alongside these magnificent loans.
Principal support is provided by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation.
New Acquisition: Giambologna’s Fata Morgana
Through Sunday, September 1, 2030
Gallery 117B
Free; No Ticket Required
The Cleveland Museum of Art has acquired Fata Morgana, one of the greatest works by Giambologna (Italian, 1529–1608), the preeminent sculptor of his generation, and the last known marble sculpture by his hand in a private collection.

Transformer Station
1460 W 29th Street, Cleveland, OH 44113
Improper Frames
Through Sunday, May 10, 2026
Transformer Station
Free; No Ticket Required
A Cleveland Print Room exhibition presented in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Improper Frames brings together artists and photographers working through Cleveland’s internal boundaries, partial views, and shifting frames. Their works present material and visual evidence contending with the city’s recently completed property inventory. This exhaustive survey is used to classify and evaluate parcels and buildings, quietly reshaping how Cleveland narrates its future blocks, neighborhoods, and thresholds. Across Improper Frames, trees defy property lines, photographic assemblies gather displaced stories, dust builds an index inside a home, and improvised architectures point to fragmented forms the property survey does not account for. Organized by Cleveland Print Room and curated by Theodossis Issaias, the exhibition features artists Amber Ford, Jon Gott, Michael Indriolo, Da’Shaunae Marisa, Vivica Satterwhite, and Alejandro Vergara, whose projects develop through sustained work across the city’s shifting terrain.

This year, for the very first time, the CMA Community Arts Center (CAC) is serving as the primary makerspace for Parade the Circle. The CAC is the museum’s vibrant, art-making hub located on the near west side and is considered the “home” for Parade the Circle. Anyone is welcome to visit the CAC to see vibrant floats, puppets, and costumes come to life!
Parade the Circle has opportunities for people of all ages, skill levels, and abilities. Individuals, families, and teens can use this time to get to know parade artists, lend a hand, and engage in the creative process. Those interested in joining a performing group have the opportunity to explore options with other creatives and artist leaders in the space, to learn more about how to make their vision come to life.
Prospective parade participants must register their group by May 10. No new groups are accepted after this date. See below for application and registration options. These sessions at the CAC replace the former tent workshop model that long-term participants may be familiar with.
Parade the Circle, which was founded by the CMA in 1990 with a small number of artists, has since grown to become a treasured large-scale event, drawing crowds in the tens of thousands every June. Families, friends, neighbors, community groups, churches, artists, performers—everyone is welcome to express their creativity, show their talent, and celebrate the arts at Parade the Circle. Every year, unique and magnificent parade designs delight participants and attendees alike.
All those performing in the parade must adhere to the event guidelines.
