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. N.B. The admission price covers all three properties, making the museum one of Savannah's best deals!
