Extremely lovely shows with a great mix of work. I went here for a fiber show a few years back and walked around for hours. I was amazed to see some of my favorite artists pieces like Sheila Pepe, Do-ho Suh, Sheila Hicks & Ernesto Neto. It was a breathtaking show!

One of the best contemporary art venues in the country. First rate music, movies, theater and visual art exhibitions. The current Guggenheim show "Storylines" includes several artists who have had shows at the Wexner Center. I've seen everything from Picasso to Andy Warhol to shows that explored the relationship between technology and contemporary art. Truly a remarkable place.

Came here for multiple comedy shows, which may not be their foray but the place has no concessions or drinking fountains and the staff in not very friendly. Would much rather see a show at the Ohio or Palace

Great place to see the work of artists that exist or existed in our world. Quiet place to take in the exhibits. I would say that if you go to plan at least 3 hours if you take in the filmography media as these can run up to over an hour. Parking is available on campus near the oval off of high street.

While I love Columbus Museum of Art, I visit The Wexner Center much more frequently. Exhibits are always interesting, the space is beautiful, and I love visiting Heirloom cafe for a bite to eat when I visit The Wex.

You can get in free on certain days which is nice. Its kind of small but they have a good variety of art that rotates. You can also get free guides that walk you through and then let you explore.

This is another good art museum in Columbus. They have rotating exhibits, some are better than others. Last summer they had an exhibit featuring the comic artist Dan Clowes creator of "Ghost World." Really cool to see his pencil drawings up close. Another exhibit I really enjoyed featured Brazilian artists. Some neat stuff. A recent exhibit this past May featured Fiber Art. I'll be frank I didn't really like this. Just was not that impressive, but to each his own.

Needless to say, this place is pretty great with changing exhibits. There's pretty cheap parking nearby. If you are a student you can get in free with your college id. You can be a student at any college, not just OSU.

Went to see Me'shelle N'degeocello in a VERY cool lounge/stage area...great show, great crowd...went exploring the rest of the center...art is EVERYWHERE! Educational, informative, and fun place to take a date!

A great place to see art exhibits and movies. Just make sure to find a seat up front as the seats aren't staggered well. A tall person in front can ruin your night. The cafe is not the best, but it is equal to most found in similar venues. Book store is great.

I have been to several art museums but have never been treated so horribly as we were here last night. We were out celebrating our anniversary and felt incredibly unwelcome. From the guards following so closely behind us that I could reach out and touch them to the other guards who yell at you for pointing, it was such an uncomfoetable experience that we just left. I cannot believe I paid money to get treated like a little kid who can't be trusted to respect anything. I will never be visiting again. There are many art museums in Ohio that have better Arr and treat guests as they should: guests.

I have been there many times, and the food is consistently delicious, however the service is far less than spectacular. I have had quite a few bad experiences there. The food usually takes a long time, whether it is for there or to-go. On one occasion, the cashier greeted me, and then proceeded to carry on a conversation with a co-worker and ignored my questions that I was asking her. It was extremely rude and unprofessional. The manager (an older lady I believe) can also come off as very rude at times, and sometimes is assuming and offensive. But like I said, the food is good.

An amazing accent to the growing cultural hub that is columbus, ohio. From art to private screenings of Oscar Nominated Films the Wexner Center gives visitors a well rounded experience no matter the time of year.

One of the premier contemporary art centers in Ohio. The exhibit and preferences are consistently high quality and of world prominence. The structure itself still challenges people to seek a greater understanding of their relation to the arts. Top site on the OSU campus.

I had been working in the basement of the former Long's Book Store [at 1836 N. High St.] while the Wexner Center for the Arts had been built during the late 1980s.





For the past thirty years, the Wexner Center for the Arts has hosted many innovative and high-quality art exhibitions, films, and performances.
