Description
The Southern Ohio Museum opened its galleries and programs to the public in 1979, after the community's largest bank moved its headquarters from the handsome Beaux Arts style building. It houses two permanent installations featuring the largest single collection of works by native son and well-known American Scene painter Clarence Holbrook Carter and 'Art of the Ancients,' containing 10,000 prehistoric Native American objects from the Charles and William Wertz Collection.
It also offers a 100-seat theatre for music and performing arts, a gift shop, a reading room complete with over 1000 volumes, a student art studio, a docent-centered tour program, an off-site circus arts studio, and year-round programming designed to enhance the exhibitions.
