Cleveland Hotels

Cleveland Museum of Art
This museum houses an excellent collection of European paintings, as well as African, Asian and American art. There are over 50,000 pieces in its collection, including a wealth of late 20th-century works by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Francisco Clemente.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum
Cleveland's top attraction, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum is more than a collection of memorabilia, though it does have Janis Joplin's psychedelic Porsche and Ray Charles' sunglasses. Interactive multimedia exhibits trace the history and social context of rock music and the performers who created it. Why is the museum in Cleveland? Because this is the hometown of Alan Freed, the disk jockey who popularized the term 'rock 'n' roll' in the early 1950s, and because the city lobbied hard and paid big. Be prepared for crowds.

Great Lakes Science Center
The Great Lakes Science Center, next to the Rock Hall, is a cunning place to entertain your kids while teaching them about science and the environment. It has lots of hands-on exhibits, as well as an Omnimax theatre, and gives a good account of the lakes' environmental troubles.
