Akron Art Museum

1 South High Street, Akron, OH 44308

The Akron Art Museum showcases modern and international art created since 1850, featuring a robust collection of contemporary paintings, sculptures, and 20th-century photography. Originally founded in 1922 as the Akron Art Institute, the institution operates out of a striking downtown facility that pairs a historic 1899 building with the avant-garde John S. and James L. Knight Building designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au. It serves as a prominent cultural hub in Northeast Ohio, hosting rotating exhibitions, community education programs, and creative workshops.
