Celebrate creativity and culture through the experience of American art, regional history, tranquil gardens, and more. As a destination for people of all interests and ages, The Columbus Museum — or COMU — has something for everyone — from the art enthusiast to the history buff, the nature lover to the leisure visitor — it's free and it's all in one space!
Columbus, Georgia, is a city that weaves together the threads of history, culture, and modernity into a vibrant and welcoming community. I still remember the first time I set foot along the banks of the Chattahoochee River—the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the timeless beauty of the riverwalk left an indelible impression on me. Over time, this city grew on me, not just as a place to live, but as a living storybook of experiences, traditions, and endless possibilities.
The Best Black Art Books of 2024 explore many artists and themes including, Alvin Ailey, Elizaveth Catlett, Tschabalala Self, Sargen Claude Johnson, the Harlem Renaissance, African photographers, Carribean makers, and queer designers.
The Columbus Museum received top honors as one of USA Today’s 10 Best Museums for 2025. The recognition follows a makeover and reopening last May. The top 10 winners were nominated by an expert panel and voted by readers as the best new or newly transformed venues.
