The Akron Art Museum, located in Akron, Ohio, is a cultural institution focused on modern and contemporary art, presenting works from regional to international artists dating back to 1850. The collection includes more than 5,000 works with an emphasis on contemporary painting, sculpture, and photography. The building, designed by the Viennese firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, hosts nearly a dozen exhibitions annually across media and features the Bud and Susie Rogers Garden for temporary art experiences designed by OLIN. The museum serves art enthusiasts and the broader community by offering films, lectures, workshops, tours, and concerts that invite live creative engagement. It has pursued collaborations with major collections, including a partnership with the Rubell Family Collection that supported exhibitions such as Keith Haring: Against All Odds in 2023, and it remains based in Akron as a mid-sized institution.
