What a great place to see some amazing art. I felt so inspired being in this building. I can't wait to come back, though on the complete opposite Coast from me. But I'll be back and plan to purchase great art!

There’s 3 floors to explore inside the Torpedo. There’s different exhibition on each floors and the arts are for sale as well. The 3rd floor is like a little museum that showcases the history of Toledo factory, African American Waterfront Heritage Trail and some Archaeological stuff was on display too. You will enjoy visiting if you love artwork. Parking garage and street parking is available. No tickets needed for entry.
