Telfair Academy Reviews
Nice place for paint lovers, not old painters though, mostly last century. Price is for 3 places, the Academy, the center across the street and another house like 10 minutes away with a guided tour
Just like Savannah itself it's not that big but it packs a punch. Beautiful building, the Rotunda room is the highlight with some impressive large works, and the sculpture room has a nice collection with works from several great American artists.

I love art museums! This one was in such a lovely setting. I was unfamiliar with the artists but felt like the collection was beautifully selected for the many expressions of the people depicted. It was a good balance of landscape and people. I loved the 15 year old boy dressed as a sheik. His expression was all teenager! The two wall length pictures of the cycle of life were amazing as well. Very enjoyable and just enough to hold my interest for the hour we were there.
