From the elegance of ancient Greek vases capturing subtle flirtations to medieval carvings telling tales of chivalric love, this tour offers a glimpse into how courtship rituals have shifted over time. Experience the allure of Rococo paintings, where opulent attire and coded gestures hinted at romantic intentions, and learn the dating dynamics of Victorian England. Each piece tells a story of love and desire, offering a cultural journey through the art of attraction across civilizations and eras.

The museum also offers daily guided tours and Art and Conversation tours. To schedule private tours for adult groups of 10 or more, please contact grouptours@clevelandart.org or call 216-707-2752.
