McKissick Museum

Very cute small museum on the campus of University of Columbia. It’s free and open to the public. Great way to escape some of the heat and take a break in the ac while learning some history.

Excellent collection of minerals including instruction and explanations. I learned a lot spending just an hour there. There was also a temporary exhibit on bee photographs which I very much enjoyed.

Had to stop in at this free museum and welcome centre on the University of South Carolina campus. Located at the top of northeast end of The Horseshoe, the McKissick Museum features U of SC memorabilia, several natural science additions such as lunar rocks, cultural items like their current quilt exhibit, and the sceptre used for convocation. I spoke with two very friendly lasses, one on the main floor who was a student, and another on the second floor who was a volunteer for the museum and knew her stuff! Would highly recommend a visit, cheers.

Great charleston sweet grass basket exhibit.

Located on the campus of USC in Columbia - very pretty campus

A charming small University museum with traditional exhibits and a great spirit of self-reflection. Exhibits cover diverse areas in nature, technology and culture with labeling that considers the nature of collecting. Worth a visit and the University of South Carolina does not charge admission.

Very small museum but it's free and just a few blocks from the capitol building. If you are nearby this is certainly worth a visit.

Interesting exhibits! I went to see the women's sewing exhibit, which was interesting and was wowed by the photography one.

So McKissick is a museum as well as an office location AND the USC welcome center. Stick to the museum part and you'll be fine.

Great museum that is very accessible. It's also free, which is a bonus.

Bailey was so helpful in getting a tour set up!

Took daughter and grandkids. Great showing of artifacts and knife collection.

A broad collection. Strong in natural history. Good website with great folk life offerings.

LOVE LOVE the McKissick Museum!!

A beautifully designed piece of architecture.

Awesome collection
