I still prefer the art museums in Cleveland and Cincinnati both in terms of architecture and collections, but Columbus is catching up!
Parking is easy to find although it is $5. Which normally parking downtown is pay but this was on the museum property and you also have to pay admission. I really loved the French impressionist exhibit. With that said there was not much else there. There is so much empty space. Showcase more regional or local artists, something, half of the building seemed empty.
I first visited in 2012 and was not that impressed. To be fair, it was partially under construction at the time. When I came back in 2017 it was much improved, inside and out. The exhibition of local artists was particularly interesting.
Worth a visit for all ages. The museum has some outdoor pieces you can see when walking in from the parking lot and a kid friendly space on the first floor. They encourage interaction in some areas with pencils and paper to add your perspective. They offer free admission on Sundays, with the exception of the special exhibition. There is also a restaurant in the space. This is not a very large museum and you could probably spend about 2 to 3 hours here at most.
Pretty nice art museum. To be honest, there aren't a lot of great museums in Columbus. This is one of the better ones. Plus it's free on Sundays (at least for now), which is awesome!
While others revel in the mindlessness of Buckeye football, a quiet and incredible review or American and World art. Not an extensive collection, but enough key pieces to elicit the wonder needed to appreciate art. The interactive elements in the museum are unparalleled in any art museum I've visited in the world. The museum's small and approachable scale make it a wonderful place to enjoy art the way it was meant to be: intimately.
Don't take a book bag or any semblance of it; they'll make you check it at the desk (and they aren't always nice about it.) Sundays are free. It can get warm in there so dress accordingly. Place to eat inside (overpriced, underwhelming). Kid friendly and other interactive spaces that are fun for all. It has some beautiful and though provoking art but it can get redundant after only a couple visits.
