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.
