Southern Ohio Museum

1979, after the community's largest bank moved its headquarters from the handsome Beaux Arts style building at 825 Gallia Street in the heart of Portsmouth's downtown. The building now houses two permanent installations featuring the largest single collection of works by native son and well-known American Scene painter Clarence Holbrook Carter (1904-2000) and "Art of the Ancients," 10,000 prehistoric Native American objects from the Charles and William Wertz Collection. Three other galleries feature group and solo exhibitions of well-known and emerging contemporary Ohio and regional artists. The Museum also offers a 100-seat theatre for music and performing arts, a gift shop, a reading room with more than 1000 volumes and changing exhibits of local historic photographs, a classroom, a guided tour program, an off-site circus arts studio and year-round programming designed to enhance the exhibitions.
