Excellent little museum! It was amazing the variety of exibits for such a small museum. Only took about an hour and a half to see everything. Really enjoyed ourselves and the employees were all very nice and helpful.

Small free University Museum. Some pretty cool items in the collection, well curated, and the right price. Worth checking out if you find yourself in the COMO area.

Loved it!! Great people and it was free!! Best $10 donation ever!

This is not a stand-alone museum, but rather a series of galleries in a university building. Nonetheless, there is a good range of art and artifacts to check out. While there are few iconic works, the antiquities collection is extensive and nicely curated. Objects are well-labeled, but the European and American galleries lack introductory level labels. I also hope that there are numbers to help match objects to labels in the antiquities galleries, as it isnt always easy to figure out the pictorial guides.I dont know why this place is separate from the downtown and campus areas of Columbia, but I think it is worth a little extra effort to come here when you are in town. Admission is free, and the staff are very helpful. Last but not least, be sure to pay a visit to the Museum of Anthropology next door. Who would have thought that it is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive [archery collections] in the world? Not to mention that local archaeology and history are presented there as well.

A pleasant little find in Columbia. Relatively small but some great pieces.

Awesome place to visit and is free!!! Donations are welcome and well-deserved. A lot of work is clearly put into the upkeep. Very nice exhibits.

My 7 year old loved seeing the paintings and statues. Good place to see into the past

A hidden gem of Columbia. If you like art this museum is on par with the big ones. This is a good place to spend a quiet introspective afternoon. My favorite is the cast of the goddess Nike, but that changes occasionally depending on what is currently displayed. Give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

We stopped here on the way home from an anniversary trip. It was well worth the stop! The museum guards were so friendly and knowledgeable. And the museum itself was full of interesting artifacts and art! It was one of my most memorable museums.

Parking and entrance is free. Exhibits are split between the first and second floor. This was moved from the main campus when their building was being renovated. It is in an old cancer research building and renamed Mizzou campus north. The first exhibit and the largest is to the right as you enter the main doors under the covered drop off entrance. The gift shop is in front of you to the left and the elevator is just past the gift shop. The stairs are also just to the left as you come in. When you come out of the elevator turn left to go to the exhibits. Coming out of the stairs it is a slight left then right. I mention all of this since it isnt obvious unless someone is there to assist you as you come in. The exhibits are wonderful. Most seem to be permanent installations with a few that cycle in and out. The north campus location is nice since you dont have to fight campus traffic or pay for parking. It is close to I-70 and could be a quick stop while driving through town.

Found a new love in my life. And its not a joke. Someone was there and I just fell in love with that individual. And so did that person. What a hell of a place to meet

Best museum in Columbia. The Nyphes marble is my favorite, beautifully lit and that makes all the difference. The Rembrandts are traditional, and lots of other diverse works of art though the centuries. Nice on a hot summer, good air conditioning.

This was a Fabulous Event. The floral arrangements on display were designed to represent a piece of Art, typically a painting. Art is Such a personal choice. ( The Art I want in my home will be different from someone elses choice for their home. ) Thats one of the things that makes life interesting.Some of the pictures the floral designers chose to interpret were lovely and others, not so lovely. However, the actual FLORAL arrangements were OUTSTANDING. The Floral designers did an AMAZING job of interpreting the painting they chose.This was my second year attending this event. This is a MUST for next year if you missed it this year.

This is a great museum that exists against all odds. It can be kind of tricky to find the building and then the museum in it but on the other hand Id rather walk into an old hospital than get radiation poisoning.

Go! Its free and they have a lot of cool exhibits. Way more than youd expect given the unassuming facade. Just go check it out.

This is a great little museum. At times felt like we were the only people there. Nicely laid out. I especially liked the archery collection.

This place is awesome and FREE! It threw me off a little because it is attached to a university hospital and once we found it all was good. This is a great starter museum for kids with great mock ups of famous marble statues through history, then a wonderful collection of history from across the state. Lastly many historical art pieces, some original some copies. Come and check it out you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Jeff

This place was awesome. I took my brother to see it because he loves native American culture. They had hundreds of artifacts from a lot of places. The coolest one was the shroud that was on an actual mummy. It was free to get in, but if you have a bag you have to leave it by the door. I was also walking around breastfeeding my baby and the man running it said if I needed anything from my bag I could get It. It was a very pleasant experience! If you like museums its a must go to.

Easy parking not too busy during the week you can take as much time as you like.

Very interesting. Ready didnt realize we had this here in Columbia. Had my granddaughter with me and she loved it.

This was a great time. Many interesting and educational items. I was very impressed with the wealth of information and displays.

Has some cool stuff, but it doesnt take long to see everything as it is very small.

Our 7yr old granddaughter loves the museum as much as we do. Great to have something so nice and educational. Its free but we always drop a donation in the box.

Nice museum. The collection is relatively small, but interesting nonetheless. Includes paintings, sculptures, pottery, old coinage, and other anthropological items. Great way to kill a couple hours.

Very impressive wrt and great staffs

Great collection for a town Columbias size. Nicely curated and well-chosen temporary installations. Cast collection offers good insight into antiquities.

Very interesting place to visit. Well structured and housing a very interesting assortment of pieces. I would highly recommend.

Didnt really have much, but the artifacts it did have were great. My son and I really enjoyed our walk through of the museum.

Amazing Roman statue and ancient Palestinian art

This is an underappreciated gem in Columbia! Lovely art exhibits and free.

Great place to visit, even though its not as huge as the other museums.

The museum of art and anthropology are on the ground floor and first floor in the same building. Both are excellence of art. I loved it too much.

You could see different archeological eras and civilizations

It wad really nice, very clean and quiet. It was very enjoyable

Incredible art and artifacts. It was free, and there were tons of things to see. However, there is very minimal information in the archaeology and anthropology section. I really wish there was more information on what the items were, where they were discovered, what they are used for, etc.

They had a decent collection for a free museum. It took us about 2.5 hours to move through everything.

Note that is museum is not on the main campus, but at Mizzou North. The museum isnt large, but it is free and has a surprisingly diverse array of art. Cool medieval/renaissance art, and a lot of artifacts and sculptures from different eras on the archaeology end (check out the mummy shroud). A good way to kill an hour or two, and it looks like they will be adding on to it .

Always a cool place to visit with my family, especially on a summer day.

I love the ancient sculpture castings and was blown away by the archery exhibit.

Small but exquisite, beautiful choices, well organized, free. Check the gift store inside, if you like German or Swiss chocolate

Great place for a quiet afternoon!

Great museum. Something fun and free.

Small museum but nice layout and interesting artifacts. My parents enjoyed the Art in Bloom exhibit.

Nice statue gallery, and some really lovely art collections. A great way to spend a few hours.

I was pleasantly surprised on how nice this museum was. I will definitely be going back.

Interesting place, not a good field trip for 5-6 year olds that we were with

Huge collection and a wonderful array of pieces. Hidden gem in Colimbia!

In a terrible location and very hard to figure out how to get into it (no signage... odd for a MUSEUM, RIGHT?), but once you find it, its surprisingly good.

In own back yard

Highly recommend!

Great community treasure, go check it out.

Nice place

It is a lovely place with great number of artifacts
