MUSEUM DAYTRIPS WITHIN GREATER CINCINNATI “Daytrip”: A visit to two museums within Greater Cincinnati, perhaps one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, with lunch in between, making for a day-long exploration as if you are on a vacation trip. I will present a half dozen such daytrips, plus a few more options for each, in case you’ve already seen one of my recommended museums. Focus: We will focus on smaller museums which you may not have visited, and we will only discuss museums, not other area attractions. Thus, we won’t cover places like the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Art Museum, Taft Museum, Freedom Center, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens, or the Newport Aquarium.
