Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

Museum
5 minutes away
Here’s a fact: When you visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you and your companions aren’t going to agree on everything. It happens all the time — you enter as friends, you leave as … friends who can’t decide if Pearl Jam is more or less worthy of inclusion than, say, Journey. No Rock Hall visitor leaves without weighing in on who should and shouldn’t be included in the hall of fame. Elvis? The Beatles? Those are no-brainers. Madonna and Run DMC? Talk amongst yourselves. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a unique setting for an opening or closing reception.

Cleveland Museum of Art

Museum
5 mi. away
The Cleveland Museum of Art consistently ranks as one of the best comprehensive art museums in the United States and one of the most-visited in the world. But what does that actually mean? It means, this isn’t the kind of museum where you show up, look at a couple of Picassos, then find the nearest bar. It's home to more than 61,000 works of art spanning 6,000 years — including soothing lily pad oils by Monet, ancient hot bod Grecian statues and 100 very vivid images of Marilyn Monroe thanks to Andy Warhol. Oh, and after more than 100 years, the museum’s founders would be pleased to know that their bedrock belief that admission should be free to the general public is still adhered to, today. You might be pleased to know that, as well. Because, you know … free.

Additional Information

All work and no play? Nah, not in Cleveland. Let’s be honest, when the meeting’s over, that’s when the real fun gets started. Nosh. Nibble. Nom - If your attendees are the hunt for chain restaurants and find-anywhere-fare, Cleveland’s probably not the best option. But if your attendees crave innovative menus and locally sourced cuisine — whether they’re tipping back craft cold ones in old-school dives or behind champagne flutes at white tableclothed celeb chef spots — Cleveland is the place to level up their convention experience. Amp it up - A visit to Cleveland without a stop at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is practically unlawful around here. Take a gander at rock’s eccentric past in the gorgeous, glass-enclosed museum along Lake Erie. If those notes hit too heavy, catch a performance by the world-class Cleveland Orchestra or a Broadway blockbuster at Playhouse Square, the nation’s largest performing arts district outside of NYC. From the Dawg Pound to Loudville - Clevelanders are a passionate bunch when it comes to sports. Catch a post-game fireworks show above the ballpark at Progressive Field. Experience the fieriness from raucous Browns fans at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Or, scope the intense energy of a Cavs game at Rocket Mortage FieldHouse. Art attack - Never laid eyes on a real Picasso? Now’s your chance. The Cleveland Museum of Art, one of the most prestigious art museums in the country, offers free admission to its permanent collection all year round. Too swanky? Browse modern art inside a turn-of-the-century transformer station, meet local crafters inside a rehabbed automobile factory or just take a turn through University Circle, the most concentrated square mile of arts and culture in the nation.
