Yelp.com Review - by s c.

2.0 of 5 stars. The boy and I headed here on Sunday morning, excited to finally see the Chihuly glass exhibit which we'd been waiting all summer for. But when we got there, the family ahead of us was turning around...

Yelp.com Review - by Yan K.

4.0 of 5 stars. The middling reviews so far seem to stem from comparisons to Toledo's museum and, more absurdly and implausibly, to major museums in major American centers of the artworld. For non-Ohio visitors,...

Yelp.com Review - by Sara M.

3.0 of 5 stars. As someone with a soft spot in my heart for the Museum, I find it hard to put any negative feelings towards it. But admittedly, they vastly need improvement. Not that they're not trying to get...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael U.

2.0 of 5 stars. I'll agree with Morgan in all regards. Growing up in Toledo, land of a free museum that I'd rank on par with all but Chicago and NYC offerings (as good as Detroit, LA, Philly, and other BIG cities) I...

Yelp.com Review - by Morgan B.

2.0 of 5 stars. I've always been into art, but I didn't really start indulging until college when I began scouting every gallery and museum I could find. I began with those in closest proximity and was blown away by...

Yelp.com Review - by Marissa M.

3.0 of 5 stars. I wish our museum of art was better. Maybe its the smallness of the museum, maybe its just not been around long enough to acquire cool art, whatever it is its only decent. What really makes this...

Yelp.com Review - by Randy S.

3.0 of 5 stars. The Columbus Museum of Art is is sort of stuck in the past. It's a not-so-distant past when Columbus was Ohio's third city -- Cleveland and Cincinnati were both larger until the last 20 years or so....

Yelp.com Review - by Grace T.

4.0 of 5 stars. I give the Monet exhibit 4 stars, but the rest of the museum 3. The exhibit seemed well thought out. The rest of the museum was pretty uninteresting. FYI: use your AAA discount for 2 for 1 tixs to...

Art meets History

The Columbus Museum of Art is a small regional museum that focuses on local talent for the majority of their galleries. Small, but quality, collections give the visitor a sense of the history of art in the...

Yelp.com Review - by Vanessa W.

3.0 of 5 stars. A decent museum, that has made a good effort to be kid-friendly. It is small, and not very in-depth though for such a large capital, city. They have a token painting or two from some of the biggies...

Yelp.com Review - by Meredith M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Step forward, step back, squint, tilt head, repeat. The Optic Nerve: Perceptual Art of the 1960's exhibit left me frustrated this weekend. As fascinating as it could be to see beyond what is front...

Magnifique!! :) by Cindy L. at InsiderPages

They have helpful personnel and amazing pieces of art. The photograph wall is one of the best exhibits, but then again, so is the atrium with the glass sculpture. They have a wonderful art program for...

peaceful, enjoyable by Jie G. at InsiderPages

The Columbus Museum of Art was actually better than I thought it would be. I'm not a big fan of art museums, since i've been to many and most were pretty dull. The Columbus Museum of art is actually pretty...

Nice, small museum by Mariah P. at InsiderPages

This is a nice small museum with many well-known permanent works. The best time to go is when there is a traveling exhibit so you can see the permanent and traveling works. Nice place to spend a couple hours.

Accesible Art by Debbie C. at InsiderPages

The Columbus Museum of Art really works hard at getting new art in town. The Renoir exhibit right now is very popular and shows that Columbus can be world-class. Even my kids love it!

I suggest you take a trip to the Columbus Museum of Art. Admission is free on Sunday (but of course you can always donate a dollar or two to show your support). Definitely try to catch the docent-led tour at...

Awesome Museum by Jennifer N. at InsiderPages

This museum is so neat and each month they throw a party on the first thursday of the month called appropriately First Thursday. It's a great place for singles to go. They get a band and have cocktails. It's a...

Gertrude Stein thought it was awesome

I really don't think anyone visits this museum. It's an ok museum, and they do have travelling exhibits and sometimes something alright shows up, but you never hear about it. It costs $6 to get in, th...

Not Cleveland Museum, but Could Be

The building arrangement and the displays are a nice start, but more should be added so that the Columbus Museum of Art adequately reflects Columbus as a capital city. As others have said, we need more...
