I chose to edit and add content to the Cleveland museum of Art.
This article provides a history of the museum, as well as an overview of the different programs, exhibitions, and permanent works of art. Other contributors have added a somewhat diverse amount of references dispersed throughout the article, however citations are still needed in some sections. On the to-do list of the articles talk page, I'd like to:contribute to expanding the 20th century history section, adding a few citations to the Wade Park section, and divvying up the Holdings sections into different subheadings.
Ryecatcher773 edited the article's history section, as well as recommending that the Holdings section be divided into subheadings based on the collections relevant to the museum.Some other changes by useres were simply editing external links that were not longer active or relevant to the article.

The collection is concise, containing about 300 paintings and 90 sculptures. Major attractions in the collection include William Sideny Mount's The Power of Music, Frederich Edwin Church's Twilight in the Wilderness, and Albert Pinkham Ryder's The Racetrack (Death on a Pale Horse). A number of Cleveland based artists are also included in the museum's holdings, placing an emphasis on local art. [6]

The Cleveland Museum of Art contains a small collection of fine art photography, dating back to 1893. What makes the collection are the pieces from photography's first contributors, particularly French, English, and American photographers. Other highlights of the collection are "photography with complete sets of The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis and Camera Work; surrealist photography created primarily between the two world wars; and Cleveland-specific subject matter produced by regional and national photographers"[7]
