The Columbia Museum of Art stands at 1515 Main Street in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, and makes a rewarding stop for anyone who enjoys looking at paintings and objects across several centuries.
What you will see
The collection brings together European and American fine and decorative arts, covering a span from the Renaissance to the present day. Visitors can look for works by Monet and Botticelli, two names that give a sense of the range on offer. Alongside paintings, the decorative arts add a different kind of attention to detail, so the visit suits both those who come for famous canvases and those who prefer smaller, crafted pieces.
