Other artists in the permanent collection include Holbein, Cole, Cropsey, Turner, Tissot, Degas, Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, Miró, Picasso, Calder, Bearden, Close, and Kiefer.

A sculpture garden containing primarily postwar works was added in 2001; it runs in a narrow band along the museum's Monroe Street facade.

It includes the museum's library as well as studio, office, and classroom space for the art department of the University of Toledo.

"[11] In his review for The New York Times,[13] Nicolai Ouroussoff wrote, "Composed with exquisite delicacy, the pavilion's elegant maze of curved glass walls represents the latest monument to evolve in a chain extending back to the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles."

With its grand staircase leading up to a row of Ionic columns, the original museum is both a temple to art and a monument to the belief in high culture's ability to uplift the life of the worker.

The new structure's low, horizontal form, fits in this context with remarkable delicacy, as if the architects hesitated to disturb the surroundings."

The Pavilion is host to 700 public glass blowing exhibitions per year, as well as community events such as (Re)New Year's Days, inspired by art, yoga, movement, and meditation, and Art of the Cut, a celebration of Black barbers and their roles as artists and men's wellness advocates that was sponsored by ProMedica.
