Be inspired or just let the magnificent collection of exhibits at the Cleveland Museum of Art overtake your senses when you visit this highly regarded facility. Founded in 1916 with the goal of preserving art for the benefit of the people, the museum is home to one of the most impressive collections in North America featuring more than 30,000 works that span over 5,000 years. Ancient Egyptian art sits alongside some of the most compelling contemporary art, and that fact dramatically underscores art's undeniable importance and influence throughout history.
A popular destination for aquatic recreation is Wallace Lake in Berea. Not only is the lake plentifully stocked with rainbow trout to please the many anglers who visit, but you can also enjoy a swim or a canoe ride on the water too. If you prefer to stay dry, then enjoy the lake from the shore as you picnic or just bask in the sunshine.
For a classic evening of unforgettable music, plan to take in a performance of the Cleveland Orchestra. The city's symphony brings the works of such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss and Brahms to life in their many performances. In addition to an already busy year-round entertainment schedule, the orchestra offers special seasonal concerts to lift your spirits in a most melodic way.
