Timken Museum of Art
The Timken, opened in 1965 and designed by architect Frank Hope, displays a significant collection of European old master paintings, sculptures, and tapestries.
These holdings are supplemented by important collections of American painting and Russian icons. More specifically, the collection's holdings include works by American (Copley, West, Cole, Bierstadt), Italian (Savoldo, Veronese, Guercino), Spanish (Murillo), and French masters (Clouet, Claude, Boucher, Fragonard, David, Corot),
but its most impressive group of works belongs to the Flemish and Dutch schools with individual masterpieces by the likes of Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Frans Hals, and Rembrandt van Rijn.

The Gate is located on the side of the museum and doesn't actually lead anywhere. It is purely ornamental.
I suppose it was very modern in 1965 when the Museum was built, but now with the landscaping it looks odd.
Of course I changed the colors just a tiny bit.
