Erie Art Museum

Founded in 1980, the Erie Art Museum is an art museum located in Erie, Pennsylvania. Since its opening, it has grown to hold a collection of more than 8,000 objects. If you visit the main gallery, you can find Everything but the Shelves, which consists of over a thousand objects hung salon-style. The museum's collection strengths include photography, comic book art, Tibetan paintings, Indian bronzes, and American ceramics. To keep the experience fresh for locals and visitors, the museum hosts four to five visiting exhibitions annually. I've noticed the salon-style hanging makes the gallery feel like a giant, curated wall of discovery. It is a great place to spend an afternoon if you enjoy seeing a wide variety of artistic styles in one building.

USS Niagara

You will first notice the wooden hull of the USS Niagara, a ship replica known as a snow-brig. It is usually docked behind the Erie Maritime Museum in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania. This vessel is significant for its role in the War of 1812, where it served as the relief flagship for Oliver Hazard Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie. Its historical importance is recognized by the state and the federal government; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and in 1988, the Pennsylvania General Assembly designated the USS Niagara as the official state ship of Pennsylvania. I always find it impressive how the ship sits against the modern city backdrop. The vessel is also designated SSV Niagara.
