I LOVE going and hanging out in this museum. They have an excellent collection. Their private collection that is not on display is even more amazing. I highly recommend visiting while you are on campus. This is truly a hidden gem in Columbia, MO and on the Mizzou Campus! I'm a former MU Art Student, so I will warn you,... More

It was very nice and FREE! But kind of small. It had a quite a selection of things to look at. Made it through there in about 1 1/2 hours with 2 kids. Nice for a change.

A lot of people who live in Columbia don't take the time to visit our small museums and they are really missing out! This isn't anything amazing or high-tech but it is very interesting. When I went they had a cool collection of old coins. It is especially fun for a yucky day or a winter day. Great for the... More

Columbia is really lucky to have the Museum of Art & Archaeology. I do feel as though I have seen the same items on display for about 40 years now, but the collections are quite amazing: coins bearing the profile of Julius Caesar, and ancient and modern pieces from around the world. I go there during the holidays for gifts... More

Wow, is this ever a cool place. The ground floor boasts a collection of plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures, which is fascinating to walk through. The originals aren't together in a museum elsewhere, so it's a rare opportunity to look at the development of this art form up close, comparing styles across eras. Upstairs, one gallery offers ancient... More

Surprisingly interesting collection of art, statues, coins, glass, etc. Great presentation of items. Perhaps the most interesting place to visit in Columbia.
