Enjoy inspiring art and thought-provoking architecture at the Akron Art Museum. Recently
re-designed by renowned Austrian firm COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, the facility, described by
critics as a work-of-art itself, integrates a new soaring glass and steel structure with
the museum's previous 19th-century Renaissance revival building, originally constructed as
the City's post office. The dramatic expansion has received worldwide media attention and
architectural acclaim.The seven galleries showcase the museum’s collection of
modern and contemporary art which include painting, sculpture, photographs and works on
paper dating back to 1850, as well as special traveling exhibitions. The museum is open
