This $5.5 Million Muirfield Mansion Has An Indoor Olympic Size Swimming Pool 😍🏡

Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

We share a lot of different kinds of dream homes with you all here at Columbus Navigator. But I can honestly say, I've never seen anything like the home we're sharing this morning. First of all, the price tag is pretty darn hefty for central Ohio. Second, it's located on the most iconic golf course in the area. And last but not least, it has an Olympic size swimming pool...

. It's a whole lotta house and I can't wait to hear what you all think of it.

Yesterday we let you know that the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium would be offering half-priced admission and today I'm telling you why you should take advantage of it. Katy the Koala is pregnant and she's freaking adorable and her little joey is just starting to poke his/her limbs out of mama's pouch. I don't know if I've ever been as excited about anything as I am about the day when we can finally see this little cutie all the way out and about.

A new year brings new resolutions, and one thing I know I want to do is find a way to improve on or learn new skills. I like learning and having something to work towards always helps me stay focused. If you're looking for a way to add a little self-improvement into your 2021 routine, consider taking classes from any of these Columbus establishments.

Decorative Arts From The Tsars to the USSR

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio and their new exhibit Russian Decorative Arts from the Tsars to the USSR. From decades of collecting Russian decorative arts, commissioning works from USSR artists, and exploring Russia's vast territories, curator Michael Reese takes us on a visual journey through Russian history from the time of the tsars to the fall of the USSR. The exhibition paints a clear decorative picture of what it was like to live in Russia during those tumultuous times. Featured objects tell stories of wealth and poverty, political struggle, fashion, and religion. Click here for more details! 🇷🇺
