The Columbus Museum

We have an upcoming event in June! Join us for a Virtual Tour of the National WWII Museum! The National WWII Museum's newest special exhibit, SOLDIER | ARTIST: Trench Art in World War II, takes an in-depth look at a military pastime known as "trench art": the creation of art, souvenirs, and tools out of discarded materials and the waste of war. Just as evaluating any other art form can reveal the life experience of its creator, the artifacts featured in this exhibit offer vi...sitors a unique way to connect to the WWII veterans who made themwhether they did so out of boredom or necessity. Each piece reveals not just the artistic skills of its maker and the materials available to them, but also their circumstances and their thoughts and feelings at the time they crafted the items. Admission is $5 for future members and FREE for current members! Join us June 17!

"Governor's Creek, Florida" by William Morris Hunt. This work began with sketches that William Morris Hunt made during a trip to Florida in the spring of 1873. Following a method that he learned from French artists painting in the Barbizon forest outside of Paris, Hunt chose to paint quiet, intimate views of nature using muted colors. Hunt believed that art should express emotion, not an exact imitation of nature. Learn more about this object --> https://bit.ly/2HzwAYT... #MuseumColumbus #Art #Painting #Florida
