The Taft Museum of Art (TMA) is dedicated to creating meaningful experiences by connecting people with great art, both in a historic setting and in the community. Located in the Baum-Longworth-Sinton-Taft House, a National Historic Landmark built around 1820, the museum was bequeathed to the people of Greater Cincinnati by Anna Sinton and Charles Phelps Taft in 1927. It opened as the Taft Museum of Art in 1932 and houses a collection of 690 works of art. TMA's programming focuses on exhibitions, youth educational programming, and adult programming, bringing significant art to the Cincinnati region, displaying its world-renowned permanent collection, and providing engaging educational activities.

The Taft Museum of Art is committed to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. In line with this commitment, the museum’s Leadership Team, in collaboration with its Green Team, continually evaluates and improves its practices to reduce its carbon footprint. A key initiative is the Halogen/Incandescent to LED Transition project, which involves purchasing and installing LED lighting throughout the museum, including the Fifth Third Gallery, Historic House, and the 2004 addition. This project aims to provide optimal lighting for the museum’s art collection and temporary exhibitions, enhancing visitor experience and preserving artwork by maintaining appropriate illumination levels. By replacing the current patchwork of lighting types with 600 Soraa “Vivid” LED lights and 1,363 LED bulbs for offices and public spaces, the museum will significantly increase its energy efficiency and savings. This project is part of TMA’s ongoing strategy to consume less energy, lower costs, and contribute to a sustainable future while ensuring the best possible display and preservation of its collection.
