WOW! was my immediate reaction as I viewed the new Akron Art Museum for the first time. You wouldn't necessarily think that a 19th century Italian Renaissance building would work along side a new 21st century glass and steel "gravity defying" structure, but both buildings emerge from the marriage better than they could possibly be alone.
The new 63,300 square-foot complement to the original Akron Art Museum will open on July 17, 2007 and more than triples the gallery space. It also adds a spectacular new vista to the already striking downtown Akron skyline.
After the museum's being closed for over three years, you're probably as excited as I was to see the interior. Join me for a sneak peek at the new Akron Art Museum.
