Columbia Museum of Art

The Columbia Museum of Art celebrates outstanding artistic creativity through its collection, exhibitions, and programs, interacting in ways that engage the mind and enrich the spirit.

The CMA's collection is organized thematically, so visitors can see how different artists, across different eras and different continents, have focused on common ideas. Seeing pieces together that examine the same themes - heroism, or vice and virtue, say - gives them a whole new context.

In addition to the rotating exhibitions, the CMA has a fantastically diverse permanent collection of art. In fact, we have one of the largest and most impressive international collections in the southeast, including many Renaissance and Baroque pieces.
