The Columbia Museum of Art, South Carolina’s international art museum, has an extraordinary collection of European, American and Asian fine and decorative art that spans centuries. The museum building was transformed from an urban department store in 1998 and is now a sleek and airy, light-filled space with 25 galleries. The collection includes masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo from the Samuel H. Kress Collection as well as modern and contemporary art from the present time. Of particular interest are Sandro Botticelli’s Nativity, Claude Monet’s The Seine at Giverny and art glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
