The Toledo Museum of Art is an internationally known art museum located in the Old West End neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio. It houses a collection of more than 30,000 objects.[3] With 45 galleries, it covers 280,000 square feet and is currently in the midst of a massive multiyear expansion plan to its 40-acre campus. The museum was founded by Toledo glassmaker Edward Drummond Libbey in 1901, and moved to its current location, a Greek revival building designed by Edward B. Green and Harry W. Wachter, in 1912.[4] The main building was expanded twice, in the 1920s and 1930s.[5] Other buildings were added in the 1990s and 2006. The museum's main building consists of 4 1/2 acres of floor space on two levels. Features include fifteen classroom studios, a 1,750-seat Peristyle concert hall, a 176-seat lecture hall, a café and gift shop.[6] The museum averages some 380,000 visitors per year[1] and, in 2010, was voted America's favorite museum by the readers of the visual arts website Modern Art Notes.[7]

The Toledo Museum of Art's eleventh and current director is Adam M. Levine.[8]
