The Swogger Gallery is an exquisite space. Tabbed "the most beautiful art gallery in Northeast Kansas" by the Topeka Capital Journal, the Swogger Gallery is dedicated to enriching the lives of those in the community and who visit.

Named for devoted Columbian supporters, John and Marion Swogger and their family, the gallery is a place of calm and peacefulness in a world of chaos and turmoil. Marion, longtime board member of The Columbian Theatre Foundation, is a resident of New Hampshire, where she is a valuable part of the extended Hood Museum organization. Her love of the arts and her research on The Columbian's 1893 World's Fair paintings have contributed immeasurably to The Columbian.

One of the most unique aspects of The Columbian experience is enjoying dinner before theatre in the Swogger Gallery. Rather than dinner theatre where patrons stay at their table for the show, The Columbian seats its dinner guests in the serenity of the gallery, and then invites them to adjourn to the theatre for the dramatic part of their Columbian evening.
