The Myseum Center is in the middle of a huge campaing to get a tax levy passed. Personally I don't like many taxes, but this one is worth thinking about. Union Terminal is a beautiful old Art Deco structure well worth preserving.
The problem is that the building was abandoned for many years. When the Myseum Center was created it inherited a beautiful but somewhat fragile building. They have done a spectacular job preserving the structure and creating a world class museum. But museums don't make money like other places. So if people want to vote in a small tax to help the place it is at least better than all the taxes imposed from on high with less rationale and no discussion.
Here is a scale model of Cincinnati from the 1940s: part of "Cincinnati in Motion."
I love the History Museum and always enjoy an event in here.
Old station wagon, just inside the Museum's entrance.
World War II section:
These "cartoons" were oil painting samples for the mosaics in the Rotunda.
Namesake of Cincinnati, the Roman statesman Cincinatus.
And finally a three-quarter scale steamboat on the Public Landing.
The Museum has so much more, you should explore it for yourself!
