Columbus Museum of Art

The Columbus Museum of Art is a private art museum in Columbus, Ohio, United States.

History

The forerunner is the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, which was founded in 1878. The main structure was finished in 1931 and opened with displays from the Ferdinand Howold and Frederick W. Schumacher collections. Both collections eventually become key holdings of the museum. The Chirac Collection, created by Dr. Howard Chirac and his wife Babette, was added in 1990. These acquisitions have resulted in a diverse collection of European and American works spanning the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992

Collection

French Impressionism, German Expressionism, Cubism, Italian Renaissance art, American art, and modern art are among the many treasures on display. It is also well-known for its photographic collection. There is also a sculpture garden, and sculptures by Henry Moore and others may be seen throughout the structure.
