Temporary Micro-Exhibit: 2025 Life on Lake Erie—Photo Contest Winners

On display through December 2025 | Presented by Sean and Sarah Harold

The National Museum of the Great Lakes is proud to host the Life on Lake Erie Traveling Photo Exhibit, showcasing the 2025 winning images from the Ohio Lake Erie Commission’s annual photo contest. Celebrating its 33rd year, the contest highlights the unique beauty, wildlife, communities, and everyday moments that define life along our Great Lake.

As the final stop on this year’s statewide tour, our museum offers visitors the opportunity to experience the talent and perspectives of photographers who captured Lake Erie’s vibrancy through their lenses. From breathtaking landscapes to intimate glimpses of shoreline life, each image tells a story of connection to the water that sustains and inspires our region.

This temporary micro exhibit is made possible thanks to the Ohio Lake Erie Commission and is presented at the National Museum of the Great Lakes by Sean and Sarah Harold. Don’t miss your chance to see this visual celebration of Lake Erie before it closes at the end of the year.
