Introduction

The Telfair Academy of Arts & Sciences, Savannah's oldest public art museum, occupies the 1819 Telfair Mansion and opened as a museum in 1886 — among the first public museums in the South. It holds 19th-century American painting, silver and sculpture; the Roman-style courtyard and domed rotunda feel classically grand, and it anchors the Telfair Museums group.
