Allen Memorial Art Museum

The small art museum at Oberlin College has an amazing collection which includes Asian, African, European, Egyptian, Greek, and American art spanning 6,000 years. It's housed in a beautiful 1917 building with a central gallery featuring a ceiling decorated with paintings of musical instruments, foliage, animals, and boats.
The first floor, where most of the art is located, is accessible. A second floor gallery is accessed by steps only. The accessible entrance is on the north side of the building. A button to open the doors is at the bottom of the ramp which solves the problem of outward opening doors and a small landing.
Parking is available on North Main Street. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good condition. Museum  41.29381, -82.21738

  1. An interesting museum to visit, but not now. Bet they're socked in by snow today!

    1. Living near the Great Lakes does have some disadvantages!
