100 Years of Change

As part of our continuing celebration of the Akron Art Museum’s centennial, we have installed this gallery with a distinct division down its center. One side features some of the first works to enter the Museum’s collection, while the other side displays some of our most recent acquisitions. In the century that has unfolded since the Museum was founded in 1922, artistic trends, culture, and indeed the entire world have changed dramatically. 100 Years of Change offers a chance to take stock of where we have been and where we are now, as well as an opportunity to imagine where we might be in another hundred years.
