Autumn at the Art Museum
Celebrate spooky season at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Plan the perfect autumn day at the CMA by viewing supernatural art in our collection, joining us for Halloween-themed programming, enjoying seasonal selections of food and beverage at the museum’s Provenance Restaurant and Café, and taking a stroll through the Fine Arts Garden to see the fall foliage.
Demons, Ghosts, and Goblins in Chinese Art
Featuring paintings and sculptures of secular and religious subject matter from the CMA and an important private collection, Demons, Ghosts, and Goblins in Chinese Art explores the stories in which these creatures appear and the supernatural power that they exert.
