New This Month
Renaissance to Runway: The Enduring Italian Houses
Sunday, November 9, 2025–Sunday, February 1, 2026
The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Hall
Fashion as a medium undeniably addresses ideas that transcend time from the past into the present. Through the majestic creations of more than 100 modern and contemporary Italian fashions and accessories in dialogue with Italian fine, decorative, and textile arts from the 1400s to the early 1600s, Renaissance to Runway: The Enduring Italian Houses examines the art historical inspirations that fuel recent creative Italian lexicon, expanding fantasies of the Renaissance, Mannerist, and early Baroque periods.
More than 500 years ago, families, or “houses,” who ruled the states across the Italian peninsula, such as the Medici of Florence and the Sforza of Milan, used fashion as a form of power and influence, from dictating fashionable styles that were immortalized through painted portraits to controlling textile production as a form of currency. Conversely, since the turn of the 1900s, rising Italian fashion companies, also called “houses,” have been founded by prolific individuals and families who dominate global style with unmatched design craftsmanship, quality fabrics, and enthralling aesthetics. From Versace and Valentino to Ferragamo and Capucci, these houses have interpreted Italian early modern–period aesthetics to develop fresh perspectives throughout the fashion landscape. This exhibition illustrates how fashion, in all of its change, is a continuous thread that uncovers history’s complexities as it materializes contemporary beauty.
Presented by the John P. Murphy Foundation
Major support is provided by Courtney and Michael Novak. Generous support is provided by Sandra and the late Richey Smith and the Carol Yellig Family Fund. Additional support is provided by Dr. Russell A. Trusso.
American Printed Silks, 1927–1947
Sunday, November 9, 2025–Sunday, November 8, 2026
Arlene M. and Arthur S. Holden Gallery | Gallery 234
Free; No Ticket Required
Between the late 1920s and late 1940s, the US was a leader in printed silks used in fashionable attire and interiors. This exhibition showcases printed silks in the CMA’s collection from four American companies—Stehli Silks Corporation, H. R. Mallinson and Company, Silks Beau Monde, and Onondaga Silk Company.
The Cleveland Museum of Art is funded in part by residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
This exhibition was supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Ohio and the National Endowment for the Arts.
A Myriad of Flowers and Birds in Chinese Art
Sunday, November 16, 2025–Sunday, May 24, 2026
Clara T. Rankin 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.
Filippino Lippi and Rome
Friday, November 28, 2025–Sunday, February 22, 2026
Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery | Gallery 010
Free; No Ticket Required
In the century following his death, Florentine painter Filippino Lippi (c. 1457–1504) was celebrated as “a painter of the most beautiful intelligence and the most lovely invention.” After training with his father—the luminary artist Fra Filippo Lippi—Filippino Lippi apprenticed and collaborated with Sandro Botticelli, in whose workshop he developed his own style. Filippino found great success as an independent painter in late Quattrocento Florence and won the favor of patrician families as well as the patronage of Lorenzo “The Magnificent” de’ Medici, the city’s de facto ruler. Upon Lorenzo’s recommendation, Neapolitan cardinal Oliviero Carafa engaged Filippino to decorate his sizable chapel in Rome’s Santa Maria sopra Minerva. The resulting frescoes, painted between 1488 and 1493, are among the most celebrated of the Renaissance. Filippino found new inspiration in the fragments of ancient paintings, sculpture, and architecture across the Eternal City; the painter’s designs for the Carafa Chapel demonstrate a shift in both his style and iconography. After returning to Florence, Filippino continued to incorporate his Roman innovations in his paintings for the remainder of his life.
Filippino Lippi and Rome reconsiders the lasting impact of the painter’s time in the Eternal City, juxtaposing Filippino’s Roman artworks with their Florentine precursors and successors. The exhibition places 25 paintings, drawings, and antiquities in direct conversation with important loans from national and international lenders, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; His Majesty King Charles III; the National Gallery, London; the Galleria degli Uffizi; and the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, among others. For the first time, these related artworks are brought together, in some cases reuniting paintings with their studies. Each object has been carefully selected to elucidate the evolution of Filippino’s artistic practice before, during, and after his Roman period. The Cleveland Museum of Art’s seminal tondo by Filippino, The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret, is at the center of the exhibition. Commissioned by Carafa while Filippino was frescoing the cardinal’s chapel, this important painting is the only known independent work produced by the artist in Rome. Filippino Lippi and Rome traces the arc of Filippino’s career across time and media, constituting a unique opportunity for scholars and the public alike to discover the artistic processes and iconographic ingenuities of one of the most gifted and accomplished Renaissance painters.
Principal support is provided by the Malcolm E. Kenney Curatorial Research Fund. Major support is provided by the Robert Lehman Foundation.

Through Sunday, November 9, 2025
Clara T. Rankin Galleries of Chinese Art | Gallery 240A
Free; No Ticket Required
This installation reviews the artistic career of Arnold Chang (张洪) (Zhang Hong, American, born 1954) and celebrates the museum’s recent acquisition by Chang, Secluded Valley in the Cold Mountains, a pivotal work that marks his breakthrough as an international contemporary ink artist.

Refocusing Photography: China at the Millennium
Through Sunday, November 16, 2025
Mark Schwartz and Bettina Katz Photography Galleries | Gallery 230
Free; No Ticket Required
From 1949 to 1978, photography in the People’s Republic of China was reserved for governmental propaganda: Its function was to present an idealized image of life under Chairman Mao and communist rule. In 1978, as China opened to global trade and Western societies, photography as documentation, art, and personal expression experienced a sudden awakening. Personal photographic societies formed, art schools began teaching photography, and information on Western contemporary art became available.
In the late 1990s, a new generation of Chinese artists, many initially trained as painters, revolted against traditional academic definitions of photography. Building on the work done in the previous decades by Western artists, they dissolved the boundaries between photography, performance art, conceptual art, and installation. In so doing, they brought photography into the foreground in Chinese contemporary art. This exhibition presents works from the museum’s collection by eight key artists from that generation.
Born between 1962 and 1969, these artists grew up during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76), when conformity was required and past intellectual and artistic products—whether artistic, family history, or documentary—were banned and destroyed. They also experienced the cultural vacuum that followed this erasure. As adults, these artists lived in a radically different China—newly prosperous, individualistic, and consumerist. They helped develop a new visual idiom, producing artworks that addressed their country’s recent history, its swift societal transformation, and their own resultant shift in identity as Chinese.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the Seven Five Fund.
Practice and Play in Japanese Art
Through Sunday, November 30, 2025
Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Japanese Art Gallery | Gallery 235A
Free; No Ticket Required
From the 1200s to the 1800s, developing a balanced set of military (bu, 武) and cultural (bun, 文) skills was considered important for the elites of Japan’s warrior class. The artworks in this gallery relate to these divergent yet complementary pursuits. Horse riding and falconry were among the martial arts, along with archery. Poetry competitions tested people’s ability to compose verse on the spot, and incense games challenged them to identify particular scents. The practices of calligraphy, music, painting, and games of strategy, often informed by Chinese precedents, provided multiple paths to personal cultivation and community.

Sunday, November 9, 2025, 2:00–3:00 p.m.
Gartner Auditorium, Suzanne and Paul Westlake Performing Arts Center
Free; Ticket Required
Speaker: Stephanie Hueon Tung, Byrne Family Curator of Photography, Peabody Essex Museum
Chinese artists used photography to create a bold new visual language at the turn of the 21st century. This avant-garde photography is not easy to characterize, hovering between performance art and documentation of the dizzying social and political changes underway in the country. This lecture considers the relationship between figure and ground as a means to orient our understanding of this work. What conditions made this daring photography, in which individual actions and desires became the focus of attention, possible?

Indian Painting of the 1500s: Continuities and Transformations
Through January 11, 2026
Gallery 242B
Free; No Ticket Required
When the 1500s began, the dominant style of Indian painting was flat and abstract with a limited, mainly primary color palette. By the 1520s, a new style emerged with greater narrative complexities and dramatic energy that was to be foundational for later developments. Concurrently, some artists began working in the pastel palette and with delicate motifs reinterpreted from Persian art.
Then, around 1560, with the exuberant patronage of the third Mughal emperor Akbar (born 1542, reigned 1556–1605), artists from different parts of the empire and trained in a variety of Indian styles came together in a new imperial painting workshop. The workshop was led by Persian masters brought from the imperial court in Iran. The formation of Mughal painting shaped by Akbar’s taste for drama and realism had a lasting impact on the cultural life of India. With its naturalism and vibrant compositions, the revolutionary new style was distinct from its predecessors, both Indian and Persian. The paintings in this gallery trace the dramatic changes that occurred during the 1500s alongside compositions that artists chose to retain and reinvent. Central to this story is a manuscript of the Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot), an illustrated collection of fables made for Akbar around 1560–65 now in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
In Vino Veritas (In Wine, Truth)
Through Sunday, January 11, 2026
James and Hanna Bartlett Prints and Drawings | Galleries 101A–B
Free; No Ticket Required
For millennia, wine has played a significant role not only in the human diet but also in cultural myths, rituals, and festivities. As a result, wine—its ingredients, making, drinking, and effects on the human body and mind—has been a constant muse for artistic creation. The exhibition In Vino Veritas (In Wine, Truth), a phrase coined by the Roman polymath Pliny the Elder, celebrates the presence and meaning of wine in prints, drawings, textiles, and objects made in Europe between 1450 and 1800. Drawn from the museum’s collection, more than 70 works by artists from throughout Europe explore wine’s myths, symbols, and stories. These images reveal how diverse cultures and religions ascribed meaning and transformational properties to the so-called nectar of the gods.
The ancient Greeks believed that the god Dionysus (in Rome, Bacchus) lived within wine: to drink wine was to partake of the god’s power. Fascinated by ancient culture, Italian Renaissance artists, such as Andrea Mantegna and Raphael, imagined scenes of boisterous festivals, or bacchanalia, along with the exploits of Bacchus and his coterie of satyrs, nymphs, and fauns. In Northern Europe, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and later Jean-Honoré Fragonard, transformed bacchanalia into raucous peasant festivals and sensuous garden parties fueled by wine, at times tinged with moral judgment. Simultaneously, wine played a critical allegorical role in images made within the Judeo-Christian tradition. The Old Testament and Hebrew Bible traced wine’s invention to Noah. Numerous stories from these texts, portrayed by Lucas van Leyden and others, leveraged wine as an important plot element, with the ability to unify and enlighten, or to incapacitate and deceive. Many artists, such as Albrecht Dürer, used wine, grapes, and the vine to symbolize the Catholic rite of the Eucharist and its origin in Christ’s Last Supper. Throughout the exhibition, wine appears in scenes of devotion, harvest, celebration, music making, and transgression, signaling community cohesion as well as the pleasures—and hazards—of surrendering to one’s senses

Eleanor Antin’s Nurse and Hijackers
Through Sunday, January 11, 2026

This unfolds aboard a handcrafted set also made by the artist.

Through Sunday, February 15, 2026
Ellen and Bruce Mavec Gallery | Gallery 203B
Free; No Ticket Required
Exchanged as personal mementos or as signs of political allegiance, portrait miniatures first appeared in the French and English courts of the 1520s. Evolved from the art of medieval illuminated manuscripts, miniatures provided a less expensive and more personal alternative to traditional full-scale portraiture. Portrait miniatures were portable luxury objects treasured by their owners both for the cherished portrait and the precious materials from which they were crafted. These might include gold, enamel, diamonds, and locks of human hair.
Their small scale and the fact that people often wore them as jewelry and carried them on their person conveys a different type of intimacy than larger scale portraits. Sitters are often depicted more informally and with the gaze of a particular loved one in mind. Miniatures remained popular for nearly three centuries. The advent of photography in 1839 offered a more cost-effective method of capturing a keepsake likeness, and the portrait miniature faded from fashion.
Juxtaposition and Juncture in Korean Modern and Contemporary Art
Through April 1, 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. 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, and the Simon Family Foundation, a supporting foundation of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
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.
