My family has been coming here since I was a kid, and it’s one of my favorite places in Columbus. They always have interesting and unique exhibits, and it’s always free.
Dont forget to visit this cultural icon of Columbus! I learned so much about portrait history, furniture, and culture of Columbus by coming here. Its not just history, they have art by featured African American artists that I had never heard of, and can now appreciate thanks to my exposure here. I wasnt able to see the uppermost level, but it looked interactive and had beautiful symbolism. Too bad my kid lost his temper and I had to leave early!
Beautiful gallery! From the outside I expected it to be a small collection of boring work but I was wrong! They had quite a bit of work to offer! There was also a childrens room for them to interact and play, which I thought was a genius idea. If you enjoy museums and visiting Columbus, this is a place to see!
Great history & art museum. Much larger than we expected, and really nice exhibits. A definite must see!
My granddaughter loved it. We spent the day there. They have alot to offer for the kids. I took my girls when they were younger. They grow up so fast.I have the same pictures of my daughter as I do my granddaughter. Its beautiful
Ive never been to the Columbus Museum is been there for a few good years as much as I love art in history it is full of it it has a lot of good interesting paintings in history of the Civil War Indians black history White History you name it I was very pleased with the attractions that were there I would highly recommend anyone to go and see the artifacts in the paintings that they have at this Museum it was very interesting I will go back there is a lot to see wow!!!! Some of these pictures of the girls were done by students at the school in Harris County and some of the others are done by Elementary and the others are known painters an unknown painters as far as I know it is free!
I went to visit because two of my photos were in one of the exhibits and ended up falling in love with the whole museum.
Love this place! New additions were a nice breath of fresh air. Highly recommend!
It was nice to experience the culture & art. Really nice exhibits. The transformation center was very interactive & kid-friendly.
I made a blown glass pumpkin! Kelly Robertson was the glass artist teaching the class and he was wonderful. when picking colors I ask for a certain color for the stem that he had not brought, and he ended up mixing some other things and making a custom blend to try and get the color for my pumpkin stem similar to the one I wanted. He showed us how we were going to do everything and helped us, so that there was no way that we would end up with a wonky looking pumpkin. We had brought a 10 year old with our group and he was wonderful talking to her at her level and not overloading her with information and making sure that her pumpkin came out just as good as the adults Pumpkins did. Case friendly and outgoing and loves to talk to people. The next day when I went to go pick up my pumpkins, even though he was helping prep for a class he recognized me, an impressive feat since I had gone the day before wearing old jeans and t-shirt my hair pulled back in ponytail and the day that I picked up my pumpkins waa Sunday so my hair was down, makeup on, and in a dress and heels. and I know that he really knew who I was because he called me by the nickname that he had given me, Birmingham. I cannot wait for Christmas when we do Snowman and or ornaments!
An exquisite find in Columbus GA. We entered the family exhibition of the surrounding area and who they were. The audio stories were awesome. The stories are heartfelt and personal, just wonderful. The history from 10000 years ago was short and could be updated with more details. I visited the LSU Natural history museum which added iPads with background information to the exhibition. All and all a great spot, I will return when back to the area.
What a great museum! Something for everyone! And its free!! Great way to spend a couple of hours!
Learned a lot, very informative and well kept exhibits.
This museum is rich in art variety. Something to please everyone. Beautiful grounds.
Special area for Black Americans to write opinions. I enjoyed the special History these Americans attributed to the development of Columbus, Ga.
Great place. Not pverly crowded. I love going there on a rainy day.
Great experience, many exhibits, interactive. Beautiful portrayal of history.
Would give this 5 stars but the restrooms are disgusting. They look remodeled from the outside but its vile on the inside.Overall nice park with friendly ppl.
This place has free admission so stop here and enjoy all of the wonderful history! We visited while traveling through. Lots to see!
The Transformations family gallery is a big hit with my kids. We easily spend two hours there. The Columbus history exhibit is very well done and interesting for all ages. We also love seeing the art exhibits. A spectacular free museum!
Great FREE museum. Great exhibits on the local history and a great art collection. There are also many kids activities on the lowest level. Well worth a stop.
This is a really great little museum. About half is a history of the area from the stone age to the present, very well-done with lots of artifacts. The other half is art from the 1800s to recent contemporary. A great spot to spend a rainy couple hours, and its free!
My four year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Transformations area for children. At this time, reservations are required due to COVID-19 protocol. We picked the 10 am-12 pm time slot and we were the only ones there. Overall, the museum is an educational and relaxing experience. Also, the staff is very friendly and customer service oriented.
Great MuseumEnjoyable for the whole family!!!Will return
Gorgeous museum of art and history. I love classic art and history, but Im not quite fond of modern art, still a very interesting exhibit none the less!
Had a great time visiting the museum with the West Georgia Camera Club to see the Tuskeegee photography exhibition. Wonderful museum and I highly recommend it!
Awesome exhibits and the most friendly staff. It operates on donations so bring a little cash.
Small museum with a treasure of local artists and artifacts, as well other American artists such as Lee Krasner and Alice Neel and many others. Museum entry is Free (please leave a donation at the donation box). There’s a modern gallery and an American gallery that focuses on early Columbus area prominent people, which leads to a large section American artists. There is Columbus history gallery as well. Nice gift shop.
Love that its free admission!! The toddler classes I signed my daughter up for have been fun so far!
Always have a great time at the museum. Its a little different now you have to schedule your time morning or night with your party of at least 15 people. Also, we were unaware that our while party had to be present but we still manged to keep our appointment. The kids had fun but make sure to not take off your mask while youre along with your party the security women got on to us about it
Free admission, great exhibits and hands on kids room!
Great displays of local history. Loved the video story of the female textile worker from the 1930s. Few pieces of art add to the value of a visit.
Very nice museum. Visited with my son and he was in LOVE! Extremely friendly staff! Will visit again soon!
Pleasantly surprised by this museum! The History part about this area was fascinating and well done. The Art was amazing as well. My wife and I had a great time, and it was Free!!!
Covid has changed the experience. The children are no longer allowed in the children area dpwnstairs, the front desk attendant stated. But then, as we walked through the exhibits, I was told by very nice CM employee that she (the attendant) could approve us to go down since it was just us. Oh really? Hmm, why did she just tell us no? How is it determined who goes and who doesnt? A family favorite now marked of my list. Favoritism, partiality, pick and choose does not get participation or support from me. One for all and all for one! My Grandson enjoyed it anyway, I made sure of it!
Very nice museum and except for the landing on the stairs, its very wheelchair accommodating.
We love going to the museum, there is always something fascinating to see. Great thing is its free and educational without the kids even knowing they are learning.
Exhibition of Bo Bartletts artwork was incredible and thought provoking. #artwork #contemporaryart #paintings
Columbus Museum is one of the most smart places I love to go visit & plus they share new art monthly if the have anything new to share 🥰🥰🥰
Thats a Great museum! Its totally free and they have so much to see. They also have a part just for children, where they can paint, they have color books, they can play with puppets and wear costumes. I had a Great time with my nieces. Outside theres like a botanic garden where you can take a walk and maybe enjoy a picnic. The front desk is so nice and helpful and they have special galleries every certain time... I recommend it to go with all your family!
My daughter and son inlaw took me today with my 3 month old granddaughter. She looked and loved all the beautiful colors. Making memorys. Thank you for a safe beautiful place to visit
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The at was very interesting and I enjoyed moving through each space of the three floors. I went with my teenage son and I wish I had more time to spend there! The current featured artist was very intriguing! We will definitely return soon!
Admission is free?! How can they sustain that without donations, so write them a check if youre able. Main floor is half history on the right, half paintings, furniture, and silver service. Special exhibits upstairs. Local artists downstairs.
I attended the 1 day sale and they had lots of great items! Everything was very well organized - the only issue was that their internet went down, and since I didnt have cash, they are holding my purchase for me to come back and pay! The staff has always been very helpful and polite
Great place to visit. Always new exhibits to see. Large play area for the kids with fun and educational things for them to do. My daughter loved this place when she lived in the Columbus area. Many fun memories there. Its also free. I recommend leaving a donation to ensure this place stays up and going for future generations to enjoy. Good little day trip for the family. Super clean everytime I have visited this location.
This Museum is Nice. Free, good place to take a date. Beautiful art, and rich in history.👍🏿
Loving my stay here. Plenty of activities to do. Whatever you wanna eat youll find a place. Weather fab
Just left this museum...I travel all over the U.S. and havent ever meet a more rude bunch of staff. The staff was overly aggressive at chastising imagined rule infractions. They followed/stalked visitors as they quietly moved through the exhibits. One person touched an exhibit and was yelled at in front of everyone. I was told twice to put on a maskwhen I already HAD my mask on.My family and I left without seeing everything because being there was too stressful. Thank you for making art fun.
The museum itself was great but the entire time my family and I were followed and monitored. We and one other pair were the only ones in there and literally every room we were in a staff worker kept walking in. When I informed the front desk personnel, he asked me to describe the workers then wanted to give me a sheet of writing paper instead of an official review or comment card. I will not be returning here.
The Columbus Museum is a must visit in Columbus. The displays of cultural history of the Chatahochee area was superb and the art collection was an added delight. We used the Columbus public bus system to get to the museum; bus route 7 has a stop right in front of the museum.
We has a relaxing stroll here. Gift shop employee was super helpful giving me information about the area and things to do. Its small and just ok and free so.
Very nice. Clean. Went for an art show.
Much more than art! Lots of historical artifacts!
There are many things under one roof. The permanent history collection is very well done leading the visitor through the history of the area. They also bring in temporary exhibits. These are always changing and lead to a different experience each time you visit. I almost feel like this is a well kept secret! This museum has great art on display, and fun kids area, and more. I will have to go back to experience it all. I was very impressed that a museum with no admission fee was so wonderful! I cant wait to go back and take my daughter.
This place is free but they do accept donations. It was nice, very interesting, it has alot to see and is 3 floors.
Crowded school event otherwise lovely experience.
So glad Columbus has a great museum like this. It is the 2nd largest art museum in the State of Georgia. Definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻
The museum could use a refresher or update, but its well worth a visit. I would personally like more Columbus history similar to the first section and dull down the art section, by no means get rid of it. Just more Columbus and less in the other sections. The live performance I saw was more annoying than enjoyable. Maybe use a closed room instead of main walling area. Look very much worth a visit.
My 3-year-old and I come here every week. This is an awesome children’s room, but we also really enjoy the local history section, especially the model school house and army tent.The art is diverse and very interesting and their garden out back is fun to explore.
Absolutely beautiful atmosphere and outdoors.
One of the best museums in the Valley. If you are visiting or Local. Its a beautiful space, garden and features some breathtaking exhibits.
Always something interesting to see at the Columbus Museum. Perfect for a rainy day or a hot summer day. Staff were wearing masks and it was incredibly clean.
Im not qualified enough to rate a museum, but I can tell you that the historical portion is interesting if you care about Columbus. There are some pieces that never leave though. The special exhibits upstairs are always fun though. Ive been to bigger and better, but its all about the content and size of the museum honestly.
The Museum has many new and old art inside. Each piece tells a story of their own, its calming to walk around inside the Columbus Museum. Recently I saw a painting that left me confused because it was a yellow canvas with a black line that went to the edge of the canvas but didnt form a square it left me curious as to what the artist was trying to show and what they were feeling. It was beautiful to walk through the art there.
This FREE museum showcases great local and nationwide artists along with an interactive local history area. I really enjoyed the current Tuskegee photo exhibit and the beautiful grounds of the museum. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is really well done!
A wonderful place to spend an afternoon! Great exhibits, lots of history, a fabulous little gift shop with lots of unique, and very reasonably priced jewelry! And --- admission is free! This is a jewel in the city and a great place to spend a few hours if you came to town for the rafting but the weather didnt cooperate! :)
Great day trip with lots of stuff to see. I took my 10 year old son. He wasnt as interested in the art exhibits as he was the historical ones. If youre planning a trip with kids, keep in mind their attention span and interests. There is no admission cost, so that is always a plus.
My daughter and I enjoyed these gardens on a beautiful Saturday morning and it was great! Her dog, Callie, enjoyed the gardens with us. The many varieties of azaleas are in full bloom, along with many more flowering plants and shrubs. If only I could have one of each, I would be one happy happy camper!
I had a wonderful times at the Columbus Museum. I shared the experience with my 5 month old grandson. He loved the colors, listening to me read the captions at the Tuskeegee portrait exhibit and exploring the Transformation Area for children.
The museum boast of the history of the local area but does little to give a complete picture of the past. Indigenous populations and slave life are grossly just brushed over. The childrens section does offer activities that entertain children up to the age of 10. However the activities do not seem to incorporate any of the themes of the museum.
The Columbus Museum is one of those hidden gems you always hear about. The place is free to get in, they have good air conditioning so it’s a great place to beat the heat. There is numerous galleries to visit and have a cool kids room with a lot of fun activities for the younger kids to do.
The Columbus Museum is really impressive for a city this size. Regional history is well represented. The childrens area is fun and interactive. The rotating exhibits are always so well done. Its a wonderful facility for events, too. If youve never been, go spend some time there. Its free. Its fun. You just might learn something.
This has been one of my favorite places to take my kids since they were toddlers and that was over 20 years ago. Today my third child (23) and I explored the gardens that beautifully grace the museum grounds. Wish we had come a week or two sooner when the azaleas were in full bloom.
I’m from out of town and the museum staff was especially helpful. So much info on the area which is good. I’ve been to museums all over the continent and Europe and tbh most try to stretch for content inside. This place did not, very relevant.
I had the pleasure of having my niece Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party August 7th, 2020 at the Columbus Museum located at 1251 Wynnton Rd Columbus, Ga. What a beautiful building. The staff inside is even more beautiful, the way the staff accommodated and attended to my needs was just awesome! I highly recommend having any special event in the Galleria Room, and ask for Kelly. Kelly guided me through every detail and gave the best customer service. The price to rent the Galleria is worth every penny, and if you want to know the event planner, her name is Jamie Sims. Jamie took the party out of orbit with her talent. She was kind, professional and always had great tips and ideas. Jamie has a great support team by her side. They really work well together and was professional and kind as well. Everyone was so knowledable. Man! What a great experience I had.
Nice setup. Staff super friendly and helpful. Make sure to bring a maskas they still require one to be worn.
Great place to visit, something for everybody. Kids loved the childrens area. Covers alot of topics for homeschooling; art, history, art. Best of all its free.I like to buy Christmas ornaments of places we visit and the lady in the store went into the office and found them for me.
The museum was really neat. I had gone there that day with my Dad, who is 78. Our whole family was born in Columbus, but My parents moved us to north of Atlanta for my Dads banking job. Only complaint : took a pic and, because my flash was on automatic she chewed me out. Probably wont return.
Super clean and the staff were very friendly. It is free admission but donations are accepted if you so choose.
Great local museum. Wonderful kids area downstairs.
Ansel Adams exhibit very impressive. Check out this museum! Well laid out. Well thought out exhibits explaining thehistory of the Valley. Did I mention its free of charge? It was a rainy day but will go back to see the grounds as well one day. Gift shop has many unique items as well.
An excellent way to spend a day in Columbus!
Very interesting history and art, as well as unique exhibits coming out every now and then! The gardens could use work here and there but honestly the place is very nice with beautiful works that are always changing! A must-see if you visit Columbus!
My Daughter and I had a great time. But and update would be nice. They room with all paints and so much more was nicely done. They have intergraded nicely up stairs. Also in the history of Columbus area as will. Hoping more will be placed in soon. We love how down stairs had pictures of all the children who painted, drew, crated and so on down stairs. The children area tho cant use a lot of updating newer epiment and so on. Also would be great to have a scearn wall where children pictures come to life.
It was ok. Not that super interesting in my opinion. A part of history - in a fun way for the kids - and paintings. They also have a space where children can play, the three kids that were with me had a great time there. Free wifi!
Very community minded organization, probably THE BEST ART MUSEUM FOR ITS SIZE in a city the size of Columbus! Having called quite a few places “home” as an Army family, we’ve seen a few!!! Now settled and having raised 4 children to young adults here, Columbus is HOME INDEED!!! I couldn’t begin to tell you how many programs and opportunities we have enjoyed via the museum over the years!!! The children’s corner museum with so much to offer & explore, classes, summer camps, movies in spring winter & school breaks, art shows from kindergarten through college!!! LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE!!! If I was independently wealthy I would be a donor, but since I can’t do that just yet I just have to say, listen to this Yankee—Y’ALL COME!!! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!!
We have a recommendation for a very safe, very enjoyable day trip (from Auburn). Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the excellent Columbus Museum. They have a fine regional collection which includes renowned artists like William Christenberry, Amy Sherald, William Spratling, Bo Bartlett, and Alma Thomas. The museum is quite powerful in its historical and artistic presentation of the African American experience in our region. Besides great art, the museum has historical components like window bars from the slave auction house. They also have an intriguing temporary exhibit celebrating Womens Suffrage in the region. As for safety, we were virtually alone in the spacious and open facility. Everyone was masked, bathrooms were perfect, and sanitizer was widely available. Oh, and Olmstead designed the gardens. 45 minutes from Auburn.
Free to enter but donations are welcome.
This is a great place to take the family, go with a friend or even visit by yourself, as I did. The museum has so much to offer, the exhibits they have on display are have to see the Eddie Dominguez: Garden of Eden Exhibition, Fort Benning at 100, Ansel Adams: The Masterworks, and Our Stories Live Here: 65 Years of the Mildred L. Terry Public Library are just tasty bit of what you can see. They also have a gift shop that is second to none in Georgia. In Columbus, Georgia this a must place to visit!!!
Very nice museum. Im not big on art, but this was actually a nice art museum and had fun exhibits to look at.
Great experience! Lots of exhibits.
There was a juggler show with a very nice story to tell. He was amazing. I have 4 girls and they loved it especially the middle 2 age 5 and 10
Nice collection. Has something for everyone. Loved the kids art section. My son was able to spend time in this section playing while we took turns looking at the exhibits. A military tattoo themed exhibition was on while we visited.
Great place! Very good at social distancing! Always been a fantastic resource for historical and current information and artistic representation of the Chattahoochee Valley!
The museum is always a great ouhting
My daughter had fun playing! She was sad that the big boat was no longer in the kids area... Overall, we love playing there though
The kids loved the exploration & All of the displays in the beginning. We spent about an hour and a half there on a rainy day. We didnt pay anything. But we made a $20 donation.
Great museum with a variety of exhibits covering art and local history. There is an excellent array of art genres. Many traditional portraits as well as more modern mediums. Some of the local history displays cover original peoples settlements, civil war events, Fort Benning history, womens sufferagette movement and more.
A Must if your in Columbus!!! Absolutely Amazing. Something new every time I visit.
Fine collection, expertly curated. This museum would be a treasured asset in cities many times Columbuss size. Exhibits are engaging. American art collection is striking.
I enjoyed seeing all the art work. Nice place to visit on a Rainey day.
This would be a nice place however the staff was very rude. They falsely accused a associate that had touched a display when she had not. When we told them she hadnt they then accused another person in our group when no one had. I would not recommend this Museum.
Awesome place to visit. Lots to do and look at.
Love our local Museum full of really good exhibits and I love the architecture of the building. I am saddened that you never see a lot of people there because they have wonderful local artist and the exhibits related to the history of Columbus should be seen by everyone who lives here.
Such a wonderful museum! There are a lot of different areas to explore and it is so clean, professional, educational. You will not be disappointed!!
First time going to the museum in years with my family enjoyed the atmosphere,they have a childrens area downstairs but it nice to learn about a lot of things from the old days.
Great place to go for a nice date. I love going here.
Great museum that is never crowded. Off the beaten path a bit, very nice clean museum. They have a nice area for children on ground floor.
Great fun at the Star Wars event. Snacks, a live band (which was very good) arts and crafts for the kids and a costume contest. Always an excellent place to visit.
Celebrated Dia de los Muertos on Think Like an Artist Thursday at the Columbus Museum of Art. You could create your own mask out of poster board, a flower out of tissue paper, etc. Very creative way to help people become familiar with the museum and the arts and to also help their inner artist break free. :) Fun evening with friends. We arent big art museum goers so our favorite part was the Columbus Lego display which was truly amazing. Love the free general admission on Sundays. We enjoyed exploring the exhibits and checking out all of the works of art
I thoroughly enjoyed all of the exhibits. I found The Columbus Museum to be informative, fun, and relaxing. I had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful museum with lovely displays of local art.
LOTS to see here! Even have a room for kids. Give yourself at least 90 minutes to see most of the displays. But dont bring drinks.
Wonderful place. Amazing works of art. There were lots of different exhibits to look at. If you love art and history then I would suggest coming here.
Great art and experience.
It was interesting for the history exhibit.Other galleries were great tooI was pleased
Made her cry a little bit
Always excited to take in culture from all types of stimuli. Always changing...always free. :)
A lovely museum with a little bit of everything. Free admission and even open on Sunday. Go!
As boyfriend and I walk into Columbus Museum today 10/12/2017 around 3:00 pm. Boyfriend was targeted the whole time as we walk around just looking at the Art affect. Three different security guard was walking around us and looking at us the whole we stay in there for 20 min and left cause a another Security guard came out of the bathroom with her walking talking saying yeah the guy in the white T-shirt ok I got him to tell him he can’t be on his phone while he was waiting for me to come the bathroom. But two different set of white ladys was on their phone didn’t said anything to them. We are very upset about this Facility.
So much to see and learn. We are planning a return visit in the future, as we were unable to see it all. I have been to other museums, where I had to pay, that didnt offer anywhere near as much to see.
Better than expected
Loved it. I never knew Columbus had so much history.
3 year old and I enjoyed the history portion very much. We didnt spend much time at the modern art part of the museum though.
Very diverse and engaging. Wonderful 19ty and 20th century art pieces.
Its free to get in. They do accept donations though. Its a fun way to spend the day with family and friends. Theres even a childrens play area on the bottom floor
Free admission and parking!
My Boys had a blast there in the green shirts
Wished there were more things in the children area. Also they need to bring back the sound maker in the childrens hall. Some of the exhibits did not work in main area.
Very well-maintained facility showcasing not only the rich history of the area, but also great works of art of different mediums. Worth visiting!
It was wonderful to see the exhibit on the 75th anniversary of the Miss Georgia Scholarship competition. The dresses were beautiful.
Everyone is very nice and it is very clean lots to see and learn
Love the history gallery and the changing art exhibits. Great to come walk through with my teenage daughter.
Beautiful paintings and such extensive information about Columbus and surrounding cities. I loved the interactive games for children and the displays of actual items of history.
Friendly staff. We were disappointed to find nothing about the movie Kiss of the Tarantula (filmed in Columbus), but enjoyed the Carson McCullers and Carter displays.
Went for the Ansel Adam collection photographs but enjoyed a little history of Columbus, examples of local artists, and a beautiful garden designed by Frederick Olmsteads sons (landscape architect of the Biltmore Estates Asheville). The diffuse natural lighting in the museum is well used.
Always enjoy browsing this museum. Its got quite a selection and is full of friendly faces. I always see something new every trip.
Great exhibits, and great place to take babies that are old enough to play. My 1 year old loves the kids room!!
Its free. The childrens section is very dated but little kids like it. The events they have there are very nice
Wonderful exhibits, especially the Dale Chihuly blown glass.
I love that this museum is free. There is so much to learn and see. The children’s portion of the museum is a lot of fun.
Didnt have kids department open so nothing for toddlers I had 2
Love the variety of art & unique pieces. Clean & modern design throughout entire museum.
Very nice. They have a nice section to bring kids to learn about puppets and some science and some art
Beautiful facility, greeted pleasantly as soon as we walked in. Immaculately clean , a thoroughly a wonderful historical experience!
Offers something for all ages
There is alot to learn there
A few friends and I went to see the 4 generation of African American art on quits. It was beautiful!! Great Workman ship.
They have so much good art there rn. We were there for almost two hours and didnt even get off the main floor.
Its a pretty fun place. Went there a few times. Its cool to see history from Columbus.
It has several fabulous exhibits of world renouned artist of several genre and an excellent exhibit of local history. It is a must see if you are in the area.
Its fine, its an art museum. It used to have a sizable firearm exhibit but they removed it years ago.
The size and amount of exhibits and artifacts the Columbus Museum has attained is quite incredible. Definitely recommend this place to all history junkies.
I always loved going to this museum with my girls. Beautiful art and plenty of history for the kids.
Clean and light. Well thought out displays and pleasant staff/volunteers. Easy access and parking.
This place is amazing! I was only able to cover the first floor. I plan in coming back to see the rest of it
It is a very large museum. It has something for everyone to enjoy, even little children,and they often feature local youth paintings
The museum is closed on Mondays so I only got the visit the security officer booth and the murky water out front. But security staff was nice!
The museum is cool, but I didnt like the security guards going around looking IN ALL of the vehicles.
Went mainly for the history museum. It was good. Had art and other special exhibits.
Nice place to spend a hot afternoon. Several art collections available for viewing and the building offers a unique location for events.
Lovely collection of all types of art as well as a walk in to the past
Amazing historic museum we visted more than 10x they have events, and childrens activities.
What an amazing place! First of all free admission. We spend a great afternoon learning.
Wonderful tribute to Leigh A. And other local artists. Enjoyed the MCSD display!!
This places been here for years its good place to take your kids
Training at Ft Benning for 3 weeks and have come here every weekend so far. I love it. All round great experience.
One of my favorite places in columbus. Never too crowded. Even fun for children. Fun & educational
It was a pleasant experience. I really enjoyed the exhibits they had.
Nice place but the security guard follows you around. Not a good place for kids either.
Fantastic Friday was a wonderful time for the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus.The Juggler of Paris was a born entertainer
Love taking my daughter here for a field trip.
Very nice quiet beautiful place to take your family or go alone to walk around, comfortable and best of all it’s free! Thank you ☺️
Very nice Family visit, the staff are all very friendly!
Lots of neat things that happened right in the local area
It was so beautiful and moving. I want to bring my granddaughter when she gets a little older.
A great place for the family. A mix of beautiful art, history, culture, and natural history. A real gem.
Great family friendly museum. I especially love the childrens interactive area downstairs.
Lots of history and art to take in. Free family fun
Extremely well designed and professionally staffed. Not thrilled by security staff profiling certain demographics however.
Friends & I participated in their first Heist last night. It was a lot of fun!
Enjoyed the up and coming artist exhibit
Cool place to go for free and learn new things about history. Kids friendly.
Open nice clean. Its a museum. And the fair well party hosted there was great
Such a wonderful place to visit if you are an art lover.
Outstanding local museum dealing with the history of Coumbus. Excellent exhibits and artifacts. Well recommended.
Fun doing Christmas ornaments - glass blowing! Great for involving kids and educating them.
Helpful staff from the guides to security plus plenty of interesting exhibits including local artists and subjects.
Fun experience for my 6mth old might go back soon when he is crawling
Love it most of the history is right there check it out

2021-11-17Best workshops. We’ve been already to the Fall and winter workshops for glass blowing and we’ve loved them. The marketplace is great too and so are the local collections. Well maintained and a “must visit.”

2021-10-01My wife and I visited Columbua ga last weekend and were looking for fun thongs to do so we decided to give this museum a try. We really werent expecting it to be much at all bit boy were we surprised. The place is huge inside and it has so many exhibits. Art, history, weapons, and so much of our states historical history for the central ga area.. We spent almost 3 hours on one floor. The pictures I posted here do it no justice but we would absolutely recommend stopping in and taking a walk around it is worth the time.

2022-01-24Great local art museum, fun kids room with all hands on. We could have stayed there for hours! Don’t forget to take a walk outside to view the sculptures. Moving into the area it was nice to learn about the local history and that exhibit was top notch! The museum is free and great for families!

2022-05-15My family and I were visiting Columbus because our daughter is a student at Columbus State. She told us about the Columbus Museum and we decided to go. Well worth the trip. Incredible displays! Took lots of pics and videos. The only con was that the 2nd floor was closed - roped off. Other than that, we had a marvelous time and so much to see. Definitely recommend this museum to anyone in the Columbus area. Check it out, and its free😄👍

2022-05-04I went to the Columbus museum and explored their outdoor garden section as it was after hours. My son and I got to see the Hermit horse statue out front they have lots of sculptures and things to look at outside of the museum. I just wish they stayed opened later

2022-04-30This place offers an unique window into the past of Columbus Georgia. It also shows very promising and futuristic arts for the city’s art. This is a must see and it’s free, so please, go give it a tour.

2022-03-24I absolutely LOVE this place. Its amazing. Please make sure you check out the local black history exhibit very nice indeed. I visit the museum every chance I get and im never disappointed. The receptionist was a a bit ?staid? in my opinion but dont let that deter you from going. Its definitely worth visiting..
