Telfair Museum of Art

The Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia has three departments, a café and museum store. There is Telfair Academy, Owens-Thomas House, and the Jepson Center. Parts of the museum have been around for 125 years. The museum has just released its 125th anniversary catalogue and offers a special member deal for those who want to donate.

The Jepson Center is devoted to art with 7,500 square feet of gallery space. It was designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 2005 making it newer than the rest of the museum of art. In the Jepson Center there is the Telfair's Kirk Varnedoe Collection. The collection was collected by MoMA curator Varnedoe over the past 50 years. It includes art from Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Avedon, and Frank Stella.

Museum hours are Sunday and Monday 12 to 5pm, Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 5pm. The museum is open year round, but closed for major holidays such as New Year's Day.

Admission is $20 for adults, $18 for military, AAA and seniors, and $5 for K college students. Children five and under are free. There are group fees available for tour groups and school tour groups.
