In this thematic area, Eye Spy visitors are introduced to the Museum and its collection.

• You can Meet the Staff, take a Cool Quiz, and learn what's Not to Be Missed at the Museum with interactive video kiosks.
 
• Examine the artwork of local artist Aminah Robinson, including a large, mixed-media cloth painting depicting life on Columbus' Mount Vernon Avenue in the 1940s and '50s. Listen to nine residents describe what life was like on the street, and try to find different people in the painting's bustling scene.
 
• Try other activities that illustrate the varied types of art (photography, installations, etc.) as well as art styles such as impressionism and cubism. Enjoy fun games that demonstrate the raw materials used in creating art and show how artists help us see the world in radically different ways.
 
• Discover techniques and technologies that help the Museum document and preserve works of art. See what happens to art if everyone could touch it, and uncover the drawing beneath a painting created almost 500 years ago!
