I joined the Museum and eventually became a docent. I have made a lot of friends and the education the Museum has given me is unbelievable! What they’ve given me in pleasure and art education is more than I can possibly give them.” -Dorothy “Dot” Johnston “Because we both love art and love this community, we have made a bequest to the Museum to help it flourish and thrive long into the future. It’s a thank-you to Columbia and all the wonderful people here. “ -Karen Brosius and Willson Powell Photo by Kirill Simin 6 columbiamuseum.org
