The whole museum is astonishing and luminous, but it was the photography that really gripped me, especially portraits of "Tiny" by Mary Ellen Mark. I will admit that 90% of my museum-going time was spent drooling over the possibilites for bringing poetry writing classes there to write. The other 10% was spent yelling at my children. Now I know why I don't go to museums very often these days.
If you're in or around Northeast Ohio, be sure to check this place out. I got a membership so I can go back without the hecklers.

If you schedule bringing your K-12 or University class to the museum at least 3 weeks in advance, then admission for the group for that visit is free. See our website, www.AkronArtMuseum.org, for more details. And I'm delighted you liked the museum and the photography.
