  • Really 2 museums in one; Local history from Native American thru modern times, and a sensational Art Museum. The history section was very informative and well presented. We really loved the art...

  • I had such a great time. They have so much to view. They had a wide variety of works of art. They had so many historical things that highlight Columbus. They had such beautiful art and had great details about the pieces. This was a wonderful outing and I recommend anyone that enjoys art to come and enjoy the museum. It's got something for everyone.
  • Best 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.”
  • Loved it! Lovely place, beautiful art, great tributes. The only complaint I have is with the guards, I understand that they are trying to enforce rules and make sure no one breaks or damages anything, but they could be a lot nicer about it. Otherwise, it was awesome, I highly recommend it.
  • My 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 weren't 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.
  • Such a well done museum. Beautiful facilities and such interesting history and cool exhibits. Outdoor garden was nice. It is free to go in and my boyfriend and I spent about two hours there.
