Akron Art Museum Reopens After Major Renovation | Cleveland News

Akron Art Museum reopens September 23 after a $12M renovation that transformed the historic 1899 post office into the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Building, adding 2,000+ sq ft of galleries, a new classroom, digital art zones, updated restrooms, and a family room. The museum’s biggest upgrade since 2007 blends Akron’s heritage with bold new creative spaces. Opening week features interactive exhibits like Chiaozza’s “Idea Machine,” surrealist masterpieces from Dalí and Magritte, and Shana Moulton’s immersive video piece. Kick off with a first look and flower show on the 23rd, join the free community celebration on the 24th, and enjoy opening weekend through the 27th—with marathoners getting in free using their race bibs.
