CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal has many, many tour options at one site.
The huge art deco railroad terminal is now home to three regionally important museums and an amazingly large space for internationally important exhibitions.
Now through May 8, 2016, CMC will host “The Art of the Brick,” named by CNN as a Top 10 “Must See Global Exhibition.” Artist Nathan Sawaya has elevated an iconic children’s toy, LEGO bricks, to inspiring art re-creating such works as da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Michelangelo’s David as well as other world-renowned masterpieces.
“The Art of the Brick is exciting for us because it appeals to multiple generations as well as adult and student group tours and can be combined with ticketing to the Museum of Natural History, the Cincinnati History Museum and the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, or possibly an OMNIMAX presentation,” said Violet Rae Webster, senior director of group tours. “We like to help tour operators find the perfect fit for their group, whatever their budget or itinerary allows.”

Ticketing for one or more museums can be arranged and box lunches for those who plan to stay the whole day.
“We also work with Cincinnati Heritage Programs as an enhancement,” Webster said. “They offer historic tours, five different topics, with a step-on guide that meets the bus at the museum.”
Part of CMC but located off-site at The Banks along Cincinnati’s riverfront, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is yet another option.
Railroad enthusiasts enjoy the historic Union Terminal by touring the terminal including a visit to Tower A with its vista of the railroad yard; another favorite is the annual Holiday Junction with displays featuring the Duke Energy Holiday Trains. An experienced Certified Tourism Ambassador, Webster can offer advice on other train-related sites, help develop an all I-71 itinerary and make suggestions for accommodations, all to make the Cincinnati Museum Center visit part of a memorable tour experience.S
