Upon entering the front doors, you see an inviting walled garden to the side with modern art pieces, reflecting pool and outdoor seating areas next to the for the cafeteria. When you arrive at the new entrance, you see a colorful combination of sculpture, landscape design, a striking contemporary façade and architecture details that gives that “Wow” factor. The new main entry to the museum, interior garden and large sculptures create an inviting first impression for the visitor. ![]() The wonderful attention to detail and beautiful design work throughout the galleries presented the artwork in a fresh and exciting discovery style that makes it easy to walk through all the collections and displays without being overwhelmed with all the artwork presented. Along with all the new modern art on display, the Columbus Museum of Art also has a significant and impressive collection covering a broad spectrum of paintings, sculpture, new media, traditional craft and other mixed media. The museum curators really did a fantastic job to curate innovative, fun and interactive art work that educates and entertains its visitors. I had a wonderful experience exploring the entire museum which had a nice look and feel atypical of those stodgy museums with the usual hodgepodge of art donated from generous benefactors from the area. I was pleasantly surprised exploring the museum’s wonderful collections of fine art and how well everything seemed to flow and connect visitors to the interactive exhibits, well placed signage in each gallery with a nice ratio of art to exhibit space in all the galleries. Not knowing too much about the art collections and the extensive remodeling efforts to create a world class museum, I was impressed with the results and visiting the museum’s fine art collections and special exhibits on display. After extensive remodeling including a new gallery wing dedicated to contemporary art and revolving exhibits, the new Columbus Museum of Art is truly a work of art in itself and a must visit museum in Columbus. ![]()
