The Akron Art Museum presents 'Unveiled: Acquisitions from the Museum's Collection' Posted: 23 Apr 2011 07:57 PM PDT AKRON, OH - Amazingly, nearly 700 works of art were added to the Akron Art Museum’s collection over the past five years despite the fact that the museum was closed from March 2004 to July 2007 for re-construction. While many of the new pieces made their Akron debut when the museum opened its new collection galleries, hundreds of other objects wait to surprise visitors over the next few years. Unveiled: Recent Acquisitions from the Museum’s Collection, on view August 30 through November 30, 2008, in the museum’s Judith Bear Isroff Gallery, brings to light 19 of those recent gifts and introduces visitors to new, inspiring and challenging works of art.
