For Your Information

FOLK ART Exhibition Catalogue Available!

The exhibition may be over, but the catalogue is still available! Pick up this piece of history before it's gone!

Discover the raw, authentic voice of the American spirit in "FOLK ART: SELF-TAUGHT ARTISTS, SELF-TOLD STORIES", the official catalogue of the Harmon Museum's major 2026 exhibition. This essential volume celebrates the unique power of art created by self-taught individuals, capturing personal forces that move them "beyond contemplation to creation."

Spanning two centuries of American ingenuity, this collector’s edition features over three dozen self-taught masters, including Reverend Howard Finster, Elijah Pierce, and Mary Tillman Smith and the rich collection covers diverse media such as Tramp Art, Face Jugs, Carvings, Painted Furniture, Whirligigs and more.

Published in conjunction with the America 250-Ohio celebrations and featuring the extensive Harmon Museum and K. Richard B. Niehoff collections, this book is a vital record of American cultural heritage.

Exhibition catalogue available in our gift shop.

Crossing the Pond

Ocean Travel Before the Jet Airliner with Ashley Ford, the donor of our Ford Maritime Collection! This lecture discusses the oceanic travel experience and the progression of the magnificent ships that once commanded the North Atlantic Ocean. We will trace their evolution from early wooden vessels to the luxury cruise liners that once dominated world travel.

IRA & Charitable Donations

Tax benefits include more reasons to support the Harmon Museum.

Did you know that, if you are at least 70 1/2 years old, you can make tax-free charitable donations directly from your IRA? By making what's called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), you can benefit your favorite charity while excluding up to $108,000 in 2025 from gross income. These gifts. also known as "charitable IRA rollovers," would otherwise be taxable IRA distributions. For more information, please use our contact page.
