7. Telfair Museum of Art

HISTORIC DISTRICT.   The oldest public arts museum in the South, Telfair presents a great collection of American and European paintings, sculpture, and special exhibits. The museum campus actually includes three distinct venues: the Academy of Arts and Sciences on Barnard Street, which is listed on the National Historic Register; the Owens-Thomas House at 124 Abercorn Street, also a listed building; and the Jepson Center for the Arts on West York Street, whose collection focuses on contemporary art and has an interactive children's gallery called ArtZeum. The admission price covers all three properties, making the museum one of Savannah's best deals!   (© 10Best)

This is the region’s oldest public art museum. The three landmark buildings contain more than 4500 objects from America, Europe, and Asia, dating primarily from the 18th to the 20th centuries. It also boasts North America's largest public collection of visual art by writer Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet. (from Southern Living)
