Columbus Collective Museums - Columbus (GA)

5 /5 B Olenick: An absolute gem of a place. The museums (yes, multiple) housed nostalgic lunchboxes, radios, cars and other vintage pieces! It was amazing. Allen was so gracious and talked to us of the history of the building as well as his own 90+ year history. Kaitlynn was so accommodating and kind. I would absolutely go back and visit when in town!

4 /5 Pamela B: It was on my list of quirky findings, and I finally got to visit!! Columbus native Allen Woodall has done an amazing job sharing his passion for pop art (in the form of lunch boxes) with us. It is packed with decades of history, in metal and plastic. A place where the past lingers, just waiting to be remembered... from lunch boxes to old cars to RC cola memorabilia. It was definitely worth the visit!

5 /5 Jennifer Noble: We have traveled the country and gone to so many different museums, this is one of a kind. And we got the pleasure of meeting Mr. Allen Woodall, the owner and founder. Such an interesting man and his family was so kind and helpful. The lunchbox museum was by far my favorite, I’m a 1980s kid so it brought back so many memories for me. Not only is there incredible antiques and art but the way they have it staged is amazing! Go here! Get an ice cold RC cola in a glass bottle on the way out.

5 /5 J C: The curator Allen is a great host and has some amazing items to show. What a treat. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in Columbus.

5 /5 Donald King: If history is your thing, get ready to be amazed. Lunchboxes I’ve never seen pictures of, lunchboxes from Japan, even some more modern ones. But wait, the RC Cola/Nehi museum is physically small but chock full of history. Old machines, contracts dated back to the 20’s, just incredible. There’s even a few Tom’s chips cracker vending machines. All most forgot the Folk Art section. Lots of unusual pieces for sale. There’s a couple of Popeye items in there that I have to do more research on, before fully appreciating them. It’s located in SW Georgia and a easy drive from Atlanta. If you reside in a different state but headed to Panama City, Florida it’s worth a slight detour.
