4.5Columbus Museum of Art(484 reviews) - Excellent Contemporary Art Exhibits Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Art Museums
This was a lovely way to spend some time in the city. The contemporary gallery was small but excellent. The entire museum is quite small, but we really liked the current special exhibits (there's an entire LEGO room right now until 8/20) as well as the Wonder Room. My teen especially liked the interactive spots where you can make your own art to be displayed and respond to prompts with sticky notes. The gift shop was excellent with lots of fun reasonably priced options, and if you buy something then parking is free. I'll be watching the exhibit schedule to see when to return. Currently, you still need to reserve a specific time slot before coming to the museum as a crowd control measure.See more..

Married couple with no kids. A very neat place to explore and enjoy the weird. Got "lost" for 2 hours. Definitely had some dark corners to get sucked into. Highly recommend for those who just wanna be and exist. My recommendations for this place for improvement: 1) Have employees flush out excessive lingering persons from certain areas so that everyone can have a chance to experience each nook-and-cranny (the monster-mouth area had a large group of stubborn teenagers who vocalized their irritation at other kids wishing to explore) 2) Continuous flow of refilling/rechecking hand sanitation stations as many were out, and 3) employees making sure children aren't running at an unsafe speed and pushing others out of the way.See more..

4.5Zanesville Museum of Art(69 reviews) - Hidden gem Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Art Museums
This is not the easiest place to find in Zanesville. Look for the red metal sculpture in the yard. Otherwise, it could easily pass for a church building. Admission is graciously funded by an area bank, so it's free. There are 3 floors of exhibits. I expected the collection to largely focus on ceramics, since the area is known for ceramic production. In actuality, there are probably more paintings than anything else, most of which are portraits. A couple final thoughts, it's not cluttered or disorganized. They have an excellent library. My kids enjoyed it. And there is nothing truly distasteful on display here (if you're looking for edgy modern art, this is not the place to find it).See more..

5.0Mazza Museum(45 reviews) - Love the art Art Museums • Children's Museums
Was at the Mazza Museum for a presentation of art done by memory care patients alongside the UF Occupational Therapy Department. Loved looking at the other artists work from children's books. Great place to spend an afternoon.See more..
Enjoying a special event in this restored building, I had my eyes opened really well. The pump house, originally an industrial building, was restored to be an art gallery and a location to support the arts. I was taken by how well the restoration was done, in particular. Along with that, the original work on the building is artistic of itself. The brickwork was done artistically to show off the architectural pieces of the building. It's so odd to see that in a building whose intent was to be industrial. The art pieces hung on the walls change depending on what is happening. I saw a variety of styles and subjects in the art. I did not see any sculptures when I visited, but they may have been moved for the busy event.See more..

4.5Kennedy Museum of Art(8 reviews) - Insanely Great! Saturday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • Art Museums The museum is housed in the old insane asylum - and the four-story red brick building is well worth the short trip up the hill. It's everything you imaged an insane asylum from 100 years ago should look like! They have a nice interpretive area that explains the history of the grounds and residents. The art museum is top-notch, with exhibits that rotate regularly. Ohio University bought the grounds and buildings (which will keep the buildings from disrepair) and university officials and administrators have offices there. Which is, well, sort of ironic.See more..
A beautiful space for art! The building has such a wonderful natural light for the art work and its wide open and bright. Handicap accessible, and they currently have the largest collection of Norman Rockwell Boy Scout paintings in the world. A must stop if you're in Warren!See more..
