Profile

The Columbian Theatre, Museum and Art Center celebrated a grand reopening in the fall of 1994 after a privately funded renovation by The Columbian Theatre Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the Foundation is to preserve and interpret the only remaining set of decorative art from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. This beautiful facility has become a regional center for the arts; serving as a venue for theatre productions, live music, and local art. Because of the beautiful spaces and elegant setting, The Columbian Theatre, Museum and Art Center is an ideal venue for small conventions, corporate meetings and receptions, parties, wedding receptions and other social events.
