Pack your bags and hop aboard as we celebrate 75 years of artistic excellence and community engagement! The Columbia Museum of Art cordially invites you to an unforgettable evening that transcends time and culture.
This landmark Gala marks the grand unveiling of our reinstalled collection. Be the first to see these galleries as you journey through the museum’s collecting pillars: Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Modern and Contemporary, discovering how global movements have influenced artistic evolution and how the CMA celebrates these legacies in dazzling new ways.
