A behind the scenes look at what’s coming to the museum.

“We Are Carver” by photographer Jessica Ingram brings six years of photographs, stories, and moments from George Washington Carver High School in Columbus into the galleries.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look before you see it for yourself.

Some things just make sense.

Like spending a weekend afternoon somewhere you can slow down and wander at your own pace.

Maybe you find an artwork you can’t stop looking at or maybe you learn a little local history you didn’t know. Maybe you take a walk through the garden, grab something from the café, or simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful for a while.

And you don’t need a big plan, or a big budget, to do it.
Come spend some time at COMU. Admission is FREE!

Come for the art. Stay a little longer.

A visit to COMU doesn't have to end when you leave the galleries.
Take a walk through the gardens, read a book in the galleries, and give yourself a little more time to enjoy the Museum.

Because sometimes the best museum days aren't rushed.

We asked a few of our staff members to share 5 of their favorite things to see around COMU! And now we’re passing their picks along to you!

From our artworks to the garden, there’s always something new to notice when you walk through COMU.

Come see if you can find their favorites on your next visit. And once you’re here, we hope you’ll be able to find your new favorite!
