The Rosenthal Education Center (REC)

The REC is open during museum hours.

About the REC

The REC is a space for families to discover the Cincinnati Art Museum’s collection in a fun and safe manner. Open during specific museum hours, the REC is located on the first floor, just off of the Great Hall. The REC has a dedicated interactive space that changes twice a year. Themes for the interactive space are based on the museum’s collection, exhibitions, and elements of art and world cultures.

Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to accommodate school groups at this time. For information about additional opportunities for students and teachers contact us at [email protected].

What’s New in the REC?
A Pig-ment of Your Imagination! by John Lanzador

Cincinnati artist and educator John Lanzador has been selected as the 2024 Rosenthal Education Center Artist in Residence. From May 7 until October 27, 2024 visit John’s interactive, multisensory art installation in the REC. John’s A Pig-ment of Your Imagination is a reimagining of the Terrace Cafe, Hunt Slonem’s Bunny Wall, and the infamous Joan Miro mural, tying in the iconic pig symbols of Cincinnati & inspiring visitors to create artworks inspired by some of their favorite things!

REC Volunteers

The Cincinnati Art Museum is seeking weekend volunteers to work in collaboration with museum staff to plan and prepare art projects, assist families and young visitors with art making, and greet visitors. This is a great opportunity to gain museum education experience while interacting and engaging with the community. Educational credit may be available for volunteers depending on the requirements of your university. Please visit the REC Volunteer Page for more information.

The Rosenthal Education Center is made possible through a donation from the Rosenthal Family Foundation.
