One of Cincinnati’s best kept secrets!
One of Cincinnati’s best kept secrets, the 1929 Grand E.M. Skinner Concert Organ sits quietly near the entrance to the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater for guests to admire. Many visitors walk by the console in its case and think it is simply a relic. Little do they know the magical music it can make!
The 1929 Grand E.M. Skinner Concert Organ is the centerpiece for Music in the Museum, a concert series hosted three times a year at Cincinnati Museum Center. We look forward to sharing the glorious sounds of the organ with you at the 2026-2027 Music in the Museum series.

– Donald Vroon, American Record Guide
“The Skinner instrument in the Museum Center is of world class—and—because of the acoustics—one of the truly greatest organs of the world.”
