Akron Art Museum is an art museum that started in the basement of the public library. A 65,000 square foot building is located next to the existing museum. This increases the gallery space from 8,000 square feet to approximately 21,000 square feet.

Located in Akron, Stan Hywet Hall is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in America. The majestic 65-room country estate sits on 70 acres of artfully landscaped gardens and grounds. Stan Hywet Hall was built between 1912 and 1915 by early industrialist and Goodyear co-founder F.A. Seiberling and his wife, Gertrude.

Stan Hywet Hall was designed by noted Cleveland architect, Charles Schneider. Another Clevelander and one of the fathers of American landscape design, Warren Manning, served as landscape architect for the gardens. The Manor House is filled with treasures from around the globe and its rooms exemplify indepth attention to detail. The house's 21,000 panes of glass, 23 fireplaces, and hand-carved paneling of oak, sandalwood and black walnut, reflect the opulence of the era.
