Local Resources

In addition to the three base museums focusing on Cincinnati history, regional natural history and science and child development, Cincinnati Museum Center works with international museums and exhibit companies in order to present special exhibitions which have featured artifacts from China, Russia, Egypt, Italy, and Canada to name a few. The Robert D. Linder Family OMNIMAX Theater also presents films focused on international topics and origins. Cincinnati Museum Center curators discuss and share information with national and international colleagues working in their specific fields of research. Cincinnati Museum Center also hosts researchers from across the globe who visit the museum’s Geier Collections and Research Center in person, as well as, those who use the online resources of the Cincinnati Historical Society library and Cincinnati Museum Center collections database. Cincinnati Museum Center is also currently working on a cultural exchange program with the National Museums of Kenya. The museum’s annual Passport to the World festivals highlights the cultures of Latin America, Africa, the Celtic Lands and Asia.
