    The Pizzuti Collection is housed in the former United Commercial Travelers insurance building. It is the culmination of a lifetime of diverse & eclectic art collecting by a wonderful Columbus couple, Ann & Ron Pizzuti. The pieces on display here are important to the art world, intellectually challenging, and champion a wide array of artistic voices. On the occasion of my recent visit I had learned at the main Columbus Museum of Art that the Pizzuti had only recently reopened. Of course I made a beeline over to the Goodale Park area for the final hour of the museums daily hours - I was not displeased and in fact completely delighted with the current installation. The multi room concept currently showing is based on Dougal Robertson's book "Survive the Savage Sea" that describes his family's survival after their schooner was sank by a pod of whales in the Pacific Ocean. Six people for 37 days on a nine foot dinghy. The concept was turned into an electrifying and fantastic multimedia presentation spanning several rooms. Well done. This is the sort of fantastic and fascinating art that the Pizzuti's generosity has brought to Columbus - we are fortunate to have this collection in our midst. The holdings are extensive, counting over 2,000 pieces.

    Pretty cool collection! This was opened by the Pizzuti family in Columbus. It's all the art that they own. They had been closed for a bit, but today was the opening of a new exhibition. They had different types of chairs that were made creatively. Some were made by graffiti artist, Kaws. There were some other pieces that were kind of abstract, as well as some political pieces. It was refreshing to see. There are a lot of political perspectives creatively depicted in art these days regarding racial tension. It really makes you think. The amount of silence in those rooms as people looked around was almost uncomfortable and yet refreshing. We need to talk about what's wrong and heal the wounds we've left to fester. It was free to visit today and I saw a good handful of people walking around. Lots of young adults, couples, a girl with her mom, etc. It's normally free for students and kids anyway, but I believe it's $12 for adults. I found parallel parking a block down, but you can park at the garages too. They won't let you hold your purse if it's a certain size, so they keep it at the front desk. It's understandable. The art should be protected and preserved. You can't touch anything but they do welcome taking photos! The workers here were really personable and nice! They conversed about the art. The Pizzuti collection is now under the Columbus Museum of Art, so we will see how it will operate.

    Tucked away between Goodale Park and the Short North, it's small museum packed with a diverse collection of surprising, thought-provoking art.

    Pros: Able to book tickets in advance…read more Amazing choreography Show rolls in loop in case you miss anything Cons: Not much general seating; need to sit on the ground High prices Parking can be a challenge Pro tip: Don't need to get the set cushion or poster. Save your money.

    We got tickets to this for my MIL's bday and it was really cool. She enjoyed it and overall it was…read morea great time. It's basically a huge room with Van Gogh's artwork splayed on the walls by a projector in an animated form. We enjoyed sitting in different positions to view alternative perspectives. There was also a lot of information about Van Gogh's life and family shared during the experience which was really interesting. Those are the pros. And here are the cons. After seeing some of Van Gogh's artwork in museums and attending other immersive art experiences, there could have been more to it for the price per person. Including fees it was a little over $50 per person which seems high considering we waited in line for our reservation for 30 minutes which was about the same as the loop ran. The prices in the gift shop were also pretty outrageous. Logistically where the building is located is also kind of a mess which isn't the fault of them per say but waiting to safety leave onto Polaris Parkway without a traffic light also added another 30 minutes to our evening plus the waiting for our reservation to start wasn't ideal. Having said all that, my MIL loved it which was the entire point of the evening. I also probably would have had FOMO had we not gone while it was here. I would recommend checking it out, but make sure to leave extra time in your night as well as tempering your expectations a bit.

    Once we got past a little bit of the sticker shock for tickets (we were only visiting for two hours…read moremax), we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Our only regret was not having more time to see all of the wings and exhibits COSI has to offer. I was surprised that for the ticket price they didn't include the Behind the Science of Pixar exhibit. Parking can easily be found in their underground garage that is nearly connected. We explored the museum with our two and four year olds- making our way between the engineering/innovators exhibit, young kiddo play area, and caught a science show on the main stage (they seem to keep it fairly booked with various topics throughout the day). They also offer a gift shop and a movie theatre for documentaries like a piece on Ohio's wildlife. Overall, a positive experience and I look forward to visiting again with more time.

    Great day for the kids. Pretty interesting for adults, too. The permanent exhibits are fascinating,…read moreand they have some rotating exhibits included with general admission. It's irritating that the special exhibits have extra entry fees, but I guess that's how things are these days. Everything has an upcharge. The food in the cafe tastes good, is overpriced, and is unforgivably stingy. The chicken salad sandwich would probably be good if they actually put chicken salad in it, and for the price, they damn well should. The exhibits are dusty and could use a cleaning. This, to me, was ridiculous, and took away from the experience. The kids probably didn't care, but when you're a parent throwing money at a place, hand over fist, you at least would like it clean. Good lord, the gift shop... handfuls of target and dollar store crap your kids will bawl their eyes out for. Be prepared. You've seen everything there at half the price.
