Review:
Columbia is one of central Missouri's loveliest and most progressive cities, best known as the home of three college campuses: the University of Missouri, Stephens College, and Columbia College. The University of Missouri campus is home to stunning architecture, most of which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including iconic landmarks such as the neo-Gothic-style Memorial Union and Jesse Hall. Visitors can peruse the exhibits of university museums like the Museum of Art and Archaeology or attend theatrical performances throughout the year at the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts. A plethora of art galleries populate the city's lovely North Village Arts District. Annual special events include the Roots 'N Blues 'N BBQ Festival and the We Always Swing Jazz Series.
