It’s an art deco masterpiece. It’s a center for museums and enlightenment. It’s an amazing place to pass a day.

It’s Cincinnati Union Terminal and home to the Cincinnati Museum Center. This building houses museums dedicated to natural history, Cincinnati history, the Holocaust and even a children’s museum. Honestly though, my favorite thing to do here is to just walk around and look at the building.

Construction was completed in 1933 and there are some incredible art deco touches like this ceiling.

The font!

And murals. Holy Batman and Robin! Look at this incredible artwork!

Isn’t it amazing? Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the ice cream parlor we nearly missed.

It’s an incredible building and it’s still home to an Amtrak station but this gorgeous place has been through a lot over the decades. Train services were suspended in 1972, it was a shopping mall for a while and a portion of the building was demolished.

I feel fortunate that we have this amazing place to visit and enjoy. Perhaps someday I’ll buy a train ticket and catch an Amtrak to adventure!
