Jepson Center for the Arts

Profile

Telfair Museums, the oldest public art museum in the South, has been an integral part of Savannah's social landscape for over a century.

Since opening its doors to the public in 1880s, the museum has grown from a renovated family mansion into a distinguished cultural institution boasting three architecturally-significant buildings; a permanent collection of approximately 4,000 works of art from America and Europe, dating primarily from the 18th-21st centuries; and a history of dynamic educational programming, community outreach, and exciting exhibitions. Located in Savannah's vibrant historic district, the museum consists of the Telfair Academy and the Owens-Thomas House-two circa 1820 National Historic Landmark buildings-and the contemporary Jepson Center for the Arts.
