The Columbus Museum of Art is an art museum located in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was formed in 1878 as the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts and it was Ohio’s first art museum.

The museum’s focus is on collecting and exhibiting European and American modern and contemporary art together with glass and folk art and photography.

Since 2011, the museum has dedicated 18,000 square feet to the Center for Creativity, which includes galleries, workshop, and gathering areas where visitors can participate in hands-on activities. The museum’s current building, completed in 1931, is located at the same site where the Sessions Mansion, its original building, stood.
