Charter Bus to Cleveland Museum of Art

The CMA's collection rivals the Met's in spots — and it's free. The 2013 glass atrium connects the original 1916 Beaux-Arts building to the modern wings; inside, the Armor Court's mounted knights, Monet's water lilies, a real Egyptian mummy collection and Rodin's Thinker on the front steps anchor the visit. University Circle's museums cluster around it.
