Italian American Museum of Cleveland
12111 Mayfield Road
Founded on Columbus Day 2020 through the generosity of the Italian Sons & Daughters of America and Hon. Basil M. Russo, IAMCLE opened to the public in October 2021.
It is located in the heart of the historic and lively Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland. You can find the museum between the iconic Presti's Bakery and Maxi's Ristorante. Sadly, we don't always have Ferraris parked in front!

Admission is FREE, donations are appreciated!
