Arts + Culture
The Places Almanac calls Columbus "one of the nation's best metro areas for the arts," and we couldn't agree more. Here, take in a touring Broadway show at the historic Ohio or Palace Theatres, catch a Shakespeare play at Schiller Park, enjoy outdoor music with Picnic at the Pops, or see screenings of the latest foreign films at The Wexner Center for the Arts.

You can attend the ballet and opera, or catch some of the country's hottest jazz talent at the annual Jazz and Rib Fest. Discover Monet at the Columbus Museum of Art or Dinosaurs at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI). Whatever you most enjoy—theatre, music, museums, dance, galleries, festivals—you'll find it here.
