It’s the same location and the same size — and admission still is free — but when the 71-year-old Columbus Museum reopens to the public, people will see essentially a new facility. “We reconceived pretty much everything from top to bottom,” museum director Marianne Richter told the Ledger-Enquirer. “… It really is a transformative change. … It’s going to be a completely different feel.”

Calling all art enthusiasts! After a $25 million renovation — The Columbus Museum is ready to reopen its doors. A Grand Reopening Celebration is coming up so you can explore the new and improved space.

After more than a year’s worth of efforts, the reopening of the Columbus Museum is just weeks away. Although members will have the opportunity to celebrate early with a sold-out gala, the museum also has unique opportunities for guests who would like to visit on opening day.
