Cleveland Museum of Art

About

The space where Claude's landscape paintings hold light within them offers a feeling like walking on air. Climbing the solemn marble staircase, a glass-covered gallery unfolds, and with a faint sound time seems to come quietly to a stop. This building, born in 1913, blends soft lighting with natural light to give the works even greater depth. In the Korean gallery, the sensibility of East Asian art fills the space, and visitors' gazes each await their own quiet encounter. On the walls that cut through open air stand sculptures bearing traces of ancient Egyptian relics, taking one's hand like guardian spirits watching over sleeping time. Where living art flows even within stillness, the Cleveland Museum of Art seems, in some way, to capture the human heart.
