Reopening Weekend at the Akron Art Museum

The Akron Art Museum is welcoming visitors back for a special opening weekend showcasing the newly renovated 1899 Building alongside fresh exhibitions. Families can explore six new shows across the museum's spaces: three exhibitions in the restored 1899 Building feature works by Shana Moulton, surrealist artists, and CHIAOZZA's Idea Machine, while the 2007 addition hosts pieces by Naudline Pierre, Alice Pixley Young, and Barbara Kasten. This is a relaxed, drop-in experience—no reservations needed. The museum opens at noon each day and stays open until 5 p.m., giving you flexible hours to visit at whatever pace works for your family. General admission ranges from free to $25 depending on your preference, and tickets are available for purchase. It's a great opportunity to see the completed renovation firsthand and experience the range of contemporary and surrealist artwork on display.
