BuckEye Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Galen,I was down there maybe a year ago to see Michael at the museum and it wasn't quite the same so I think they decided to split ways. Micheal told me that he was looking for another space to properly show the marbles and the history. I'm sure it will be back open again.Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 The Akron Children's Museum initially wanted to partner with the marble museum but then decided against it. All of the Akron marble artifacts that were on display are now in storage. It is hoped that a new physical space will become available in the near future.
