Story

The Akron Art Museum, dedicated to enriching lives through modern and contemporary art, showcases regional, national and international art created since 1850. The museum’s collection is presented in a spectacular facility designed by Viennese architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au and includes over 5,000 works of art, with a strong focus on contemporary painting, sculpture and photography. Nearly a dozen exhibitions each year present prominent artists in various media including painting, sculpture, photography, video, design and glass.

In addition to its ever-changing collection and exhibitions, the museum offers many opportunities to live creative through programs that include films and video, lectures, workshops, tours, concerts, and public art projects.

This museum was extremely disappointing to the point of nausea. Preschoolers have more understanding and creativity than these so called wannabe artists. Really, a pillow with hundreds of needles stuck in it.....is art?????? What purpose????? A cardboard box opened up flat with some gold spray paint on it is art..... Oh, and the splinter of wood sitting on a block of gold??? Ridiculous!!!!! This is not thinking out of the box but, out of the mind.....

Went on free Thursday tonight... Very little people there. Not much to see here though. Just a few exhibition spaces. Collection is nice but it is smaller than I am used to. Compared to the Butler in Youngstown, the Akron museum is nicer looking but Youngstown collection is better

We attended a beautiful wedding yesterday at the museum. It was lovely. Staff was very accommodating. The venue was beautiful for this affair!

Great exhibits and an awesome building. They do a lot of great work for the community, and it's an affordable activity that gets you out in downtown. I was very impressed by the collections here, and have been several times. Check out their website to see what exhibits are in, because they change pretty frequently.
