Columbus Museum of Art

If you're looking for inspiration, this is the spot. The Columbus Museum of Art's (CMA) collection spans work from Columbus-born artists like Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson, George Bellows, and Elijah Pierce to the luminaries of 19th and 20th-century art. Rotating exhibits fill its recently opened modern art wing, and there are ample areas to explore and create art of your own. Interactive stations outside many galleries offer more ways to process and create art.
