  From the Director

Welcome to the Columbia Museum of Art's Web site. We hope you visit often as there is much to explore. More than 150 artworks from the Museum's collection of more than 7,000 objects is available for viewing on our web gallery pages - allowing you to zoom in on details, and to select categories to view by location, medium and time period. You can discover a wealth of programs, workshops and classes for all ages by exploring the easy navigation of the site.

The Columbia Museum of Art is a welcomed oasis of international art in Columbia, South Carolina's city center, just blocks from the historic State Capitol building, University of South Carolina, fine restaurants, hotels and other attractions.

The Museum family is grateful for the generous support and vision of the City of Columbia, Richland County and the numerous donors and supporters who share the Museum's mission to educate, enrich and inspire the community and visitors to our state. I would like to give special thanks to Leona Sobel and Dr. Nicholas K. Moore who have made this Web site possible through their generous support.

I hope our Web site inspires you to visit the Museum often and become a part of our family by becoming a member!
