I just checked with the Phillips. The general admission is $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors. This includes the permanent collection and any current exhibitions. If you just want to see the permanent collection it is by donation only. I hope that answers your question. Do visit it; it is a lovely collection. If you have time, walk across the street to the Society of Cincinnati museum. It has limited hours, but if it coincides with your visit, it is well worth the extra time and walk.
