Telfair Academy

Another great art museum — has some pretty amazing famous older pieces that really pair well with the more modern work at the other center. A good range from classical to 20th century, and some contemporary work in other mediums. They also do a good job of contextualizing the role of slavery and race in the artwork and construction of Savannah, I think.

The art was impressive, and you could really tell how each piece tells a story. The museum offers a narrated tour by Mike or another assigned guide, and they made the experience so much better. He answered all our questions, super impressive and knowledgeable. The art is very well preserved, with a mix of antique and modern paintings. I definitely recommend asking for the narrators; they make a huge difference and help you learn more in a fun, engaging way.

Fine art and sculpture throughout the Tel fair Academy. Beautiful paintings from a wide variety of genres. This site includes the famous "bird girl" statue, kept safe and protected for proper viewing. Enjoy your time here, highly recommended.

Seeing the famous Bird Girl statue amongst the other preeminent works housed in this beautiful and historic building was one of the highlights of our visit to Savannah! The collection here is truly amazing and spaciously curated to encourage an unrushed and contemplative experience.

Logical visit when you buy tickets for the Owens-Thomas house when visiting Savannah. Nice, calm, quiet. Not spectacular. Definitely needs a bit more background stories that it currently does not have, such as the story of the house. But, ChatGPT is your friend and can build you a tour through the house on-demand

Thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful space with sculptures, paintings, and other pieces. The rooms are open and airy, not overstuffed with too many pieces to look at. Also a lovely size, it’d be hard to lose yourself in this space compared to other larger museums. A perfect mid-day getaway!

Interesting museum, but no major arts paintings or sculptures. Note a portrait of Khalil Gibran and also two paintings from him

It's a wonderful art museum within a cool historic mansion/house. The giant room on the second floor with all of the paintings on the walls was absolutely stunning! Great statues and more art throughout! Definitely check this place out!
