Cincinnati Museum Center

Located in the historic Cincinnati Union Terminal, this complex is a one-of-a-kind center for history learning in the region. The 1933 art-deco building itself is a landmark on its own. The center houses six organizations in its facility – namely the Cincinnati History Museum, Museum of Natural History and Science, Duke Energy Children’s Museum, Cincinnati History Library and Archives, the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust and Humanity Center, and the Robert D. Lindner Family Omnimax Theater.
