    The craft museum is the most charming hidden gem! The winter gift sale is a wonderful opportunity to buy something pretty and unique for your loved ones while supporting the talent of local artists. I can't believe I've never visited before!

    Three stars because the gift shops were unique with local things as well as things from across America. There was no exhibit when we went in and the website didn’t state that they were between exhibits / that there wouldn’t be any.

    This is a great, often overlooked (due to a fairly nondescript building) year round craft musuem/gallery. There is a parking lot with free parking. I highly recommend stopping by leading up to the winter holidays as the building upstairs is packed with a large variety of unique, handmade, holiday crafts that make really distinctive gifts. I've stopped here probably a decade now for Xmas and consistently get accolades from my gift recipients. There's a used furniture store right next door that I love checking out when I leave here as well!

    I visited the Ohio Craft Museum [at 1665 W. Fifth Ave. in the "Fifth by Northwest" neighborhood of Columbus] yesterday [8-22-2022] for possibly my first time. I have been familiar with Ohio Designer Craftsmen [the organization that operates the Ohio Craft Museum] for many years because I used to edit an "arts calendar" in central Ohio and am fairly certain that I had included Ohio Designer Craftsmen events in that calendar. Currently on display in the main room of the Ohio Craft Museum is a traveling exhibit [featuring artists from Pittsburgh], "Food Justice: Growing a Healthier Community Through Art." Photographs of the "Food Justice" exhibit are not allowed so you will need to visit the Ohio Craft Museum "in person" [before 9-24-2022] if you want to see that exhibit. Some of the elements of that exhibit are sounds that obviously cannot be transmitted via a photograph. During my brief visit to the Ohio Craft Museum, I had been able to take (1.) several photographs of the building itself and (2.) several photographs of artworks [some of which are for sale] that are on display in smaller rooms that are near the main room. Two of the people with whom I had spoken during my brief visit to the Ohio Craft Museum remember me from when I had worked for the former Long's Commercial Art Supply in the basement of the former Long's Book Store at 1836 N. High St. If you want to be able to view -- and possibly purchase -- artworks that have been created by artists from all over Ohio, I strongly recommend visiting the Ohio Craft Museum.

    It's more of a gift shop/gallery than a museum as nearly everything is available for sale. The museum features many talented artists throughout ohio within many different mediums of art.

    It was a wonderful experience.

    Visited with my granddaughter who was home for Christmas break. We will go again because too much to see in one visit. Very enjoyable.

    Enjoy going here 3-4 times a year. Pleasant and friendly place to see art and craft work, which they change often. All kinds of creative work, mostly 3-D and mixed media. Also good place to find special gifts.

    They have some good collections. If someone is looking to buy craft stuff you should visit the place

    A little misleading, I was expecting some sort of walk through/explanation of different crafts. While the items on display are beautiful, it is really more an art gallery marketed as a museum. I hope they can make their website a bit more clear so we could have gotten a better idea of what to expect.

    This place is a little gem in the Grandview Heights area. It's not large, but always worth a stop--interesting, unique gifts from craftsmen and women from the region. It also has rotating exhibits that are noteworthy. The art and food justice display August-September 2022 is fascinating. I didn't know what to expect but suffice it to say that the art educated powerfully. Hard to believe admission is free. They also have excellent craft camps during the summer--my daughter went one year in sixth grade and enjoyed it.

    This time of year everything is for sale. Some of artists were also Winterfair artists... We bought reduced priced tickets there and enjoyed the current displays.

    This place is a hidden gem in Columbus. They have fantastic workshops for adults and camps for kids. During CoVid they have continued to offer virtual classes. You pay online swing by and pick up your supplies. All contactless. Then attend the zoom session. They have also done some great seasonal art boxes for kids to do at home.

👍👍 We had an amazing experience on the Columbus Food Adventures Meat Lovers tour! The tour was well organized, started promptly and was completed on time. Our host, Andy, was gracious, funny and very knowledgeable about the Columbus food scene. And best of all, we sampled a wide range of delicious food...
