The Art of Entertaining – Creating Social & Corporate Special Events of Distinction at the Museum

The Columbus Museum of Art welcomes you to the art of fine dining and entertainment. We are one of the city's finest venues for celebrations. It would be our pleasure to assist you in planning your wedding reception, cocktail party, luncheon, dinner, or business meeting. Our goal is to make your event not only memorable but also remarkable.

For groups of five to five hundred, the Columbus Museum of Art can cater to all your special events needs. Choose from the elegance of Derby Court, the outdoor enchantment of the Russell Page Sculpture Garden, the stately Bellows Room, or our fully equipped 295-seat auditorium. We have an award-winning, in-house kitchen staff, as well as a full list of preferred caterers from which to choose. And while attending any event, your guests are welcome to stroll the galleries and enjoy our renowned collections. For a non-traditional venue with unparalleled beauty and charm, consider the museum for your next special occasion. Monet, Matisse, Chihuly, and Cassatt...let us add your name to our guest list.
