Cincinnati Museum Center
Facility
The Union Terminal train station, which originally opened in 1933, was renovated and reopened in 1990 as the Cincinnati Museum Center, a joint facility for five allied museums and attractions: the Cincinnati History Museum, the Cinergy Children’s Museum, the Museum of Natural History and Science, the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater, and the Cincinnati Historical Society Library.
Current Project
Improvement projects have received six state appropriations totaling more than $7 million, including a recent appropriation of $2.5 million in Am. Sub. H.B. 562 of the 127th General Assembly. The $2.5 million appropriation received Commission approval in February 2009 and will contribute to restoration of historic dining rooms. More than $2.2 million in state funds has been reimbursed to date. Museum Center officials are focusing on the multiphase restoration of the 75-year-old terminal, beginning with window and roof repairs, HVAC upgrades, and interior architecture restoration.
