Welcome to the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art, one of Marietta’s most beloved cultural treasures. At this website, you can learn more about the exceptional works of American art from the Revolution in to the twenty-first century that have been generously bequeathed to the public. Remarkable paintings, sculptures, and decorative art objects are presented in the city’s former Federal Post Office, and the special ambience provided by its beautiful classical architecture has been preserved. You may experience a sense of it on our website’s video tour, while also learning about public programs such as lectures and workshops as well as ways to support the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art through membership and fundraising events.
