Ask a Librarian is a free service by the museum's library
staff providing answers to questions about the world of art, including
museum history and general information. The Ingalls library staff will
answer your queries as quickly as possible. If an answer is needed urgently,
please contact the reference desk at 216.707.2530.
Before you ask your question,
please take a moment to consider the following:
- If you are asking about artist information or artwork, please provide as much
information as possible. A picture of the artist's signature on the object can
aid the library staff immensely.
- Can you place the object in a time period, art school, movement?
- Asking for a picture of the "Statue of Liberty" is vague. Do you need
an image of statue during the opening, construction, restoration, or demolition?
Who is going to use the image? Elementary students, higher education, personal
viewing, and/or group presentations?
The library staff can not appraise artwork, but can recommend other institutions
that will.
