Toledo Museum of Art

The Toledo Museum of Art is an internationally known art museum located in the Old West End neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio. It houses a collection of more than 30,000 objects. With 45 galleries, it covers 280,000 square feet and is currently in the midst of a massive multiyear expansion plan to its 40-acre campus. The museum was founded by Toledo glassmaker Edward Drummond Libbey in 1901, and moved to its current location, a Greek revival building designed by Edward B. Green and Harry W. Wachter, in 1912. The main building was expanded twice, in the 1920s and 1930s. Other buildings were added in the 1990s and 2006. The Museum’s main building consists of 4 1/2 acres of floor space on two levels. Features include fifteen classroom studios, a 1,750-seat Peristyle concert hall, a 176-seat lecture hall, a café and gift shop. The museum averages some 380,000 visitors per year and, in 2010, was voted America’s favorite museum
by the readers of the visual arts website Modern Art Notes.
Effective July 1, 2019, John Stanley began serving as the interim director as the board conducted an international search for the 10th director.
After an extensive search, Adam Levine was announced as the Toledo Museum of Art's tenth director on January 30, 2020. Upon taking the helm of the Museum, TMA's board of directors unanimously passed a resolution that reclassified John Stanley's time as interim director as the Museum's 10th director, making Levine the 11th director in the Toledo Museum of Art's history.
