Columbus, Indiana has a population of only 44,000, yet has been ranked 6th in the nation for architectural innovation and design by the American Institute of Architects, right behind the much larger cities of Chicago, New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
Smithsonian Magazine called Columbus a "veritable museum of modern architecture. The Chicago Tribune said, "Columbus is a small-town architectural mecca." USA Today said, "Columbus is one grand, landscaped park."
Visitors to Columbus can see more than 70 buildings and pieces of public art by internationally noted architects and artists, including I.M. Pei, Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Richard Meier, Harry Weese, Dale Chihuly and Henry Moore.
And a visit to Columbus wouldnt be complete without a tour of the Miller House and Garden, to experience the heralded designs of Eero Sarrinen, Dan Kiley, and Alexander Girard.
