The Cleveland Museum of Art in University Circle dates to 1913 and has been shaped by successive architects across its expansions: Marcel Breuer, Rafael Viñoly, and the original firm of Hubbell & Benes. That multi-architect history spans decades of the museum's growth on the same site.

Layered authorship. The museum's current form is the work of three different architects across separate campaigns — Hubbell & Benes' original 1913 building, followed by later expansions from Marcel Breuer and Rafael Viñoly.
