    Compared to other holocaust museums I've been to (including our national one in DC), this is quite a small space, hidden in the basement of Cincinnati's massive train station. It has a distinctive approach; as Cincinnati apparently was a significant destination for Jewish refugees, the museum has been organized around telling their specific stories. The exhibits include only hints of the historical meta-narrative, one which some people will already be familiar with (although a significant number will not). There are interactive elements; one often pushes a button to get a minute or two of a Holocaust survivor discussing a specific topic. A special exhibit when I was there involved an interactive room in which you asked a question and the interviewee answered. It was sold to me as artificial intelligence, and the thought of an AI-generated response was pretty disturbing; but this actually seemed to mean that the computer listened to you and tried to pick out a matching response from some pre-existing footage from an actual human being. Thank goodness. Later in the museum, it tries to draw analogies to subsequent historical events, which is where it predictably stumbles. There are some politically charged contemporary references, but nothing that would create any controversy at an effete dinner party, which is kind of the problem. I attended a premiere of the Ken Burns American Holocaust documentary here once as well, and the issue was much the same. As with most museums, if one considers it only as a perspective, it is an interesting experience. While the space not large, only a couple of rooms strung together, I spent a shade over an hour perusing everything.

    I came here once before around the time they first opened and I was blown away. Coming here over the past weekend was extra special because this time I had my 13 year old niece in tow. First let me emphasize the importance of how this museum is organised. The 7 minute video that wev watch before entering the museum really sets the tone for what you're about to walk into. And for young people who may not know, it does a great job explaining the holocaust. The museum is organized in such a way that it doesn't leave you feeling sad or defeated. It ends with a call to action to help make the world a better place- to be an Upstander. Walking through the museum, my niece and I were able to draw parallels between the experiences of holocaust victims and our ancestors from Africa who endured slavery. That brought it home. My niece really had a great time, and she was so excited to tell her teachers about the museum.

    Please take the time to go here. It's not just an account of the Holocaust, but it tells the story of humanity and how we can always keep improving. It's probably one of the more important exhibits at The Museum Center you can visit.

    A++++++++++++ 10 out of 10!…read more Look, you're not going to find a museum dedicated to signs of this nature anywhere else. The American Sign Museum sat on my to-visit list for years. I couldn't wait to see it. That wait finally ended this past Labor Day weekend when we took a trip to Cincinnati. This museum is everything it's billed to be and more. In fact, you don't even need to go inside to start to experience some of the great signs that they've accumulated. From neon signs to murals to metal signs, canvas signs, posters..you name it, they have it all. I'm in my 50's so many of these signs resonate to my youth. We didn't have electronic devices back in the 1970's, so looking out the window during road trips was what we did. And it's then that I saw these signs and fell in love with them. As time strips and destroys them, it's truly awesome to see a museum that's restoring and displaying them in all of their brilliance. The artistic value alone for these signs is off the charts. And the neon signs are simply remarkable. I took about 400 pictures while we were here and will just post one to give you an idea of what's in store. Enjoy!

    It is cool and I'm glad I saw it. That being said, I wouldn't go again and I felt the $20…read moreadmission was too much since I wasn't there more than 20 minutes. There is a parking lot and also an overflow lot across the street.

The draw for me was the Gee Horton exhibit. It has since closed (as of August 30) but it was beautiful. I did visit the other exhibits while I was there and it took maybe less than an hour to go through the entire museum. I think the cost is pretty standard for a contemporary museum, but I'm not sure if they offer any free admission days as that would be a great incentive to get people in the doors. The staff I encountered were helpful and they also have a coffee shop with plenty of seating on the ground floor.

    What a charming, quirky and fun place! I was in the…read moreCincinnati area and this popped into my Facebook feed. You need to book an appointment to visit and the owner very graciously fit us in even though they had a fairly packed schedule. The space is in a cool art/studio space where various artisans rent out areas. The museum owner told me about some of the history of the building which was really interesting to hear. I love when old spaces are reimagined. When you get to the building that the museum is in, the cat museum is down the hall and to the right. (there isn't any directional signage when you enter the building). You know you are in the right place when you see the giant blow up lucky cat. The museum itself is a small space, but it is packed, literally wall to wall and floor to ceiling with lucky cat and other cat related items. There are several interactive items (noted with a paw so you know what you can and can't touch). There are items the owners collected, items created by the owners and items created and donated by others. One of my daughter's favorites was the weird al lucky cat and the super tiny lucky cat. We spent a surprisingly long amount of time in there because my daughter wanted to look at and take in as many details as possible. The museum itself is free, but you can make a donation. You can also support the museum and owner by making a purchase in the shop. They have everything from $1 small trinket items to large and expensive stuffed animals and souvenir shirts. If you are looking for something unique and quirky to do, definitely check out this super fun space.

I always believed it but now things that I wondered about are answered. So many things to disprove evolution at every turn. The 4d presentations are a little cheesy but good for kids, but the planetarium was phenomenal. I found myself gasping in awe several times during the Created Cosmos presentation. It was a very humbling experience to realize that out of all of the trillions of planets and stars, God chose this crazy, messed up world and sent his Son to die for us. He didn't start over somewhere else. He chose US! They have an entire section dedicated to a baby's journey in the womb which was awesome. There were some panels and screens discussing abortion and references to sexual activity in that section so maybe that one's not for curious kiddos. There was a hall full of butterflies and beetles on display, dinosaur bones, and a hall with panels with some fascinating Bible facts. It was a truly wonderful experience. I could not recommend it higher.
