The Columbus Museum of Art offers visitors a broad spectrum of activities, from guided tours and lectures to festivals of all types. At the center of the museum is the World Arts Collection, which showcases works from around the globe. The permanent collection includes masterpieces by European and American artists such as Rembrandt, Monet, and Cézanne, as well as works by diverse Ohio-based creators, including William Morris Hunt and Maude E. Knight. In addition to its traditional collection, the museum periodically showcases the work of today’s most acclaimed local and regional artists. For example, the museum recently presented the work of regional artist Ted Hansen, who creates landscapes by building and piecing together canvas, photography, and materials. Hansen’s pieces reflect an intricate sense of place and a strong connection to Ohio. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the museum or attend a guided tour of the facility. During "Walk & Talks," experts discuss art topics and lead tours throughout the museum. During the guided tours, visitors can learn about the history of art and its impact on society and even sit down for a tour of the museum's world-renowned European galleries.
