Everyone should visit the art museums of Ohio.

The top art museum in Ohio is the Cleveland Museum of Art, which recently acquired a Pre-Columbian artworks at auction. The museum is most excited about a bag made by the Wari people of Peru, about 750 AD. The bag, which has a long strap and narrow opening, is made of hardened hide, and has the image of a human head. The museum also acquired the most elaborate Wari litter known anywhere in the world. The litter shows a dignitary which sits in a litter carried by four porters who are dressed in loincloths and have ring-like headbands. The items were brought in a lot from Sotheby’s in New York on May 13, 2011.
Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Art Museum is embarking on a unique project. Per Knutas will be cleaning and stabilizing one of Vincent van Gogh’s last masterpieces, Undergrowth with Two Figures, in public. He will be working on Tuesday through Friday afternoons and on select Saturdays. The process, which can be viewed by the public, will remove wax from the painting and will reveal the original colors and textures of the painting, which is on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, until the project is finished.
