Welcome to the City of Columbia’s audio art tour. Each featured work of art has its own connection to Columbia’s history and is a part of our cultural legacy. This guide is meant to enhance your interaction with the art by providing additional information about the works and the artists. The audio tour was made possible by a grant from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. The project was produced by The City Channel in collaboration with the city's Office of Cultural Affairs.
There are two tour options: "Around Town" and "Downtown." Locations included in each are listed below. Downloading options and instructions are detailed as well. In order to use these audio tours, you must have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
