Reviews
"Good collection, the top floor is the most impressive. Nice variety too. The ticket was $25 to tour the 2 art museums and house, so we did all 3. Wouldn’t be worth the $25 just for the art gallery though"
"Beautiful building. This place is worth the visit because you get the 3 for 1 deal on all the Telfair properties (Telfair, Jepson, and Owens House). The collection is very grounded in region specific art from the late 1800's which makes sense with the Telfair history. I do wish the plaster casts of Vatican statuary were in better condition. Since the statues are casts without historical significance, I wish the museum team would do restoration work on the casts, conservation just doesn't make sense on these pieces. The staff was wonderful, the facility is fantastic, the curatorial details are excellent."
"Telfair Academy Museum is a great place to spend part of a day and see the beautiful architecture of the Telfair family mansion at the same time. As the oldest public art museum in the south, it houses various collections of fine and decorative art. As part of a three-museum package the price is excellent."
"We really enjoyed our visit to the Telfair Museum on our last trip to Savannah, we initially landed in the museum because I wanted to see the Bird Girl. The statue was impressive and took me back emotionally to see her up close and personal. I found all of the exhibits beautiful, spent about an hour wandering from one exhibit to another. Another plus, your admission will also get you into the other sites at no additional costs, which we certainly did."
"A lovely museum in a beautiful city. The artwork is amazing and thought provoking. Also most pieces are in gorgeous frames. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. The varying mediums keep you excited to see what’s around the next corner."
