Erie Art Museum presents a varied collection and changing exhibitions in the city’s downtown historic district.
Different media and artistic traditions offer a broad experience, with the museum serving as a cultural counterpart to Erie’s better-known outdoor destinations.
Check the current exhibition and event calendar before visiting, since temporary displays can be a major part of the galleries. Talks, classes and other programs may have separate registration arrangements. Allow time for the artwork and its interpretation, then consider exploring the surrounding downtown streets as a separate part of the outing.
