Schumacher gallery is (I believe) the second biggest art museum in Columbus! The permanent collection is extensive and new exhibitions are featured each semester. It's worth the trek to the fourth floor above the Blackmore Library! Karen LaValley and I are honored to have our work exhibited during Jan 17-April 9th during 2022 spring semester.

I visited the Schumacher Gallery for the first time recently to see the Edward S. Curtis exhibit. The show of Curtis' early-1900s photographs of Native Americans was extraordinary! And the rest of collection was also impressive. The Curtis show is there through the end of March (2019.) Check it out!!

This gallery is a gem. There is a permanent collection and a rotating exhibit and it's always free. It's easy to spend an hour here.

One of the best shows I've attended. The talent showcased was top shelf, and the gallery displayed the artwork to great effect. Treat yourself and catch this one.

Surprised more people have not commented on this fantastic gallery. Located on the fourth floor of Capital University's Blackmore Library, the collection has something for everyone. Plus, great shows throughout the year.

Thank you, Mike G., as I never knew this existed. I went on Saturday afternoon, which was the last day for the Beatles exhibit. I was able to park on Main St. (thanks for Bexley's free street parking) and found the library quite easily since there is a campus map nearby. Inside, there was a sign directing me to the gallery on the 4th floor, and also a sign in the elevator. I was greeted by a student who told me to enjoy myself. The black and white photographs of the Beatles were really very interesting. It was amusing they wore terrycloth shirts when they were in MIami (cool style of that era?). I enjoyed reading the caption cards next to each. I also made time to see the rest of the gallery. It's a nice space and worth checking out (and free). I would like to go back to see other exhibits, so I'll make a note to keep track of future events.

I'm ashamed of myself folks. I've lived in the Columbus area all my life and there are times when I say ho hum, I've seen everything worthwhile in Columbus, Ohio. Then I discover a cool and interesting art museum just minutes from my house. I heard that the Schumacher Gallery was having a photography exhibition in tribute to The Beatles first US visit, "The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes" I really enjoyed that interesting exhibit but that was just the tip of the iceberg. I also spent time looking around their permanent art collection, which was far larger than I'd anticipated. Their collection contains nearly 2500 items ranging from paintings, to sculpture, tapestries and more. Whether you like art from Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe and America with a substantial exhibit on the art of the Inuit Indians of North America, there's something here for everyone. The term "hidden gem" often gets overused but this is the real deal. It is a really well organized, interesting space to visit. I'm the first to review this wonderful art museum and I hope there will be a whole lot more from other art lovers. I'd encourage anyone to spend some time and tour the museum. I took my time and was there for about an hour. Couple this museum with a Drexel movie, a dinner at a nearby restaurant or maybe some ice cream from across the street and you might just have yourself a very pleasant afternoon. * Located at Capital University on the 5th floor of the Blackmore Library. * Hours are somewhat limited - check their website for details. * Admission is free.
