Vent Haven Museum

Reviewed By tumbleweedchris - Asheville, United States

It's a shame that Vent Haven doesn't have more reviews. It's one of the more unique museums I have seen, and I have seen a lot of unusual museums around the world. It takes a little planning as you need to request a tour in advance, but it is well worth the small effort. The museum curator gives you a personal tour of the three buildings onsite. There are nearly 1000 dummies waiting to be discovered. They all have their own story, personality, and history. The profession is one with an interesting past, present, and future. I had a lot of fun here and learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know before. It takes about an hour, give or take how many questions you ask. This is well worth the $10 per person donation and is one of my favorite quirky museums in America. There are plans for a bigger facility and I look forward to seeing this museum grow. It deserves it. Make a plan and go visit Vent Haven.

Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center

Located at Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal, the site where numerous Holocaust survivors arrived in Cincinnati to rebuild their lives, the museum examines this watershed moment through its local connection. Using innovative storytelling, interactive experiences, and genuine artifacts, visitors witness the strength and courage of the human spirit set against the backdrop of one of the darkest chapters in human history. The museum incorporates media, artifacts, art, and interactive exhibitions to share this history and its lessons. It also includes the Humanity Gallery where visitors explore moments, meeting individuals who activated their character strengths to become upstanders and bring change to our community and world.

The museum was informative and meaningful. Its reliance on anecdotes and personal stories from local survivors in the Cincinnati area strengthens the experience of learning about the horrific events of the Holocaust by adding local and personal connections. An excellent visit, and an important part of history explored.

American Sign Museum

We are home to a visual history of American Signage from 1870 through 1970. Hand carved wooden signs, gold leaf, electric light bulbs, and neon all grace our walls and tell amazing stories, especially when told by our founder and avid collector Tod. Take a trip down memory lane and visit us in the Camp Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati!

Reviewed By becbumblebee - Temperance, United States

We had no expectations for this, because we weren't quite sure what we would find. We loved it! The guided tour (free with admission) was very interesting; Alex kept it moving at a good pace and provided some cool insights into the signs and their history. (The gift shop is easy to browse, and we appreciated there were no standard "gift shop" toys they just stuck their name on.) We're curious to find out when they expand into the second phase of their building. The tour is family-friendly and the building is handicap accessible and wheelchair-friendly.
