Much of the Toledo Museum of Art is closed, its galleries stripped, and key parts of the collection out of public view.
This isn’t about whether renovations are needed—it’s about whether they are being carried out in a way that still honors the Libbey Trust, which requires the collection to be continuously housed and exhibited for the public.
When galleries are closed for years and the art is largely out of view, that raises a serious question.
We call on the Ohio Attorney General Charitable Law Section to:
- Investigate the administration of the Libbey Trust
- Review whether the museum is complying with its legal obligations
- Ensure the collection is restored to continuous public exhibition
- Protect this institution as a public charitable trust—not a private asset
