A wonderfully curated museum with plenty of helpful and knowledgeable staff. The bottom floor features rotating galleries while the top floor houses the permanent pieces. The open floor plan along with the provided map makes transitioning from the different themes easy. Overall a very enjoyable experience and will definitely be going back.
Columbia Museum of Art is a great Regional Art Museum. They have often some great exhibits, and on Loan Art from some of the top Museums anywhere. The types of art here range from the 15th Century to Modern Art. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Cost is only $10 for an Adult which is a bargain!
With a variety of interesting exhibits and special showings, this museum is a worthwhile addition to any tour of Columbia. The staff is personable and discreet, and all presentations are well labeled.
I am always impressed with the art museum’s first floor installations. They always showcase an amazing talent from SC that I have never heard of. It’s worth visiting the museum 3-4 times a year to see this floor alone. They take special attention to inform and honor so many different cultural voices and stories from our state.
There's not very much diversity in the collections. I was very disappointed in this media depiction of Aunt Jemima & Uncle Ben. The black experience is not limited to domestic slavery and poverty.
Outside of that, it's a beautiful museum with an amazing staff.

What a beautiful place and day to enjoy the best that life and living has to offer. Am getting ready to enjoy an outdoor Jazz offering with the ☀️ shining. Take a moment from your busy life to also enjoy the smooth celestial sounds of the spirits. First Thursday of the month you can enjoy free music with a wine and beer and water table to purchase.
This was the first time I had ever been here It is in downtown Columbia. The grounds as you approach is nice. I wish I’d taken a picture. But it was raining and we hurried in. But there are tables and a fountain and a sculpture or two.
Inside it is two floors. Stairs as well as elevator. Bathrooms on both floors.
I think that the bottom floor is a changing gallery why the upper floor hosts things that the museum owns with may be a hall exhibit that changes.
There’s an interactive room also. Which was cool but not supplied with the brushes and paper at every station. There is a place where you can sit in this room as well
Upstairs there are seats around. As well as little pop up stools you can carry with you if you want sit and admire the art.
The first Thursday of the money is free admission.
There are also, first come first serve, lockers. For free.
We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely go back
