Our Land
| Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Gallery
The majestic views of unspoiled landscapes offered by our country’s national parks have inspired countless artists. This August marks the centennial of the National Park Service, established to conserve natural and historic scenery, leaving it “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” In celebration of this landmark anniversary, the Akron Art Museum exhibits photographs of our land—parks and historic sites belonging to all United States citizens—by artists including Ansel Adams, Carleton E. Watkins, Marilyn Bridges, Masumi Hayashi and Robert Glenn Ketchum, among others.
