The Cleveland Museum of Art announced its 2026 exhibition schedule in December 2025, outlining an ambitious program tied to the museum’s 110th anniversary. The schedule spans more than a dozen exhibitions covering diverse global artistic traditions and several major figures in Western and Asian art history.

Among the year’s highlights, “Martin Puryear: Nexus” (April 12–Aug. 9, 2026) examines the sculptor’s engagement with global traditions of material culture, African American history, and the natural world. “Manet & Morisot” (March 29–July 5, 2026) is presented as the first major exhibition dedicated to the artistic exchange between Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot. Later in the year, “Spectacular Freedom: Andrew Wyeth and the Modern American Watercolor” (Sept. 20, 2026–Jan. 18, 2027) will present nearly 75 watercolor works from the artist’s estate, most never previously exhibited publicly.

“Ten Kings of Hell and the Afterlife in Medieval Korea” (Oct. 11, 2026–Jan. 3, 2027) will reunite 10 dispersed hanging scrolls depicting the Kings of Hell in what the museum describes as a historic reunification. The broader program also encompasses exhibitions on Native American works on paper, Pahari paintings, French photography, Renaissance engravings, contemporary portraiture, Rococo decorative arts, Chinese printmaking, and Malagasy textiles.

The Cleveland Museum of Art, located at 11150 East Boulevard in University Circle, is free and open to the public. Additional information about the 110th-anniversary programming is available at clevelandart.org.
