Cincinnati Museum Center has an annual economic impact of $87 million, according to a study by the

The study evaluated the impact of visitor spending, capital expenditures, and employment by the Museum Center's attractions, including the Omnimax theater, Duke Energy Children's Museum, and the Museum of Natural History and Science.
The study also found that $37 million of that annual economic impact is "new money" drawn from out-of-town visitors and national touring museum exhibits.
