Behringer-Crawford Museum

From the ridiculous (BCM’s infamous two-headed calf) to the sublime (our fascinating collections), we feature family-friendly exhibits of arts, heritage and the culture of Northern Kentucky as part of the Ohio Valley.

Examine a mammoth fossil, take a ride through time with the beautifully restored 1892 streetcar “Kentucky,” activate the engines, lights and music of a miniature, mid-century community in the Faragher G-gauge train display and even watch a drive-in movie from the seat of a 1959 Buick Electra convertible. View works by prominent regional artists as Mary Bruce Sharon, Wolfgang Ritschel, Harlan Hubbard and others.

Music@BCM concerts are “the place to be on Thursday nights” during the summer, while the annual Holiday Toy Trains display is a child’s delight in winter.
