Akron Art Museum is an art museum in Akron, Ohio, USA.

The museum started in the basement of the public library in 1922. A 65,000 square foot new building is being designed by the architecture firm Coop Himmelb(l)au, located next to the existing museum, a post office building dating back to 1899. This will increase the gallery space from 8,000 square feet to approximately 21,000 square feet.
