Jepson Center & Telfair Children's Art Museum

The Jepson Center is a contemporary art museum in Savannah's historic district with a distinctive glass and white concrete facade. Inside, the building holds modern art collections, exhibition spaces on multiple levels, and the Children's Art Museum section spread throughout.

The museum grew out of Telfair Museums' need to expand its facilities, following a period of intensive planning in the late 1990s. Its opening became a turning point for how contemporary art is presented in the city.

The center displays rotating exhibitions of contemporary works that draw visitors from the region and beyond. The Children's Art Museum section offers hands-on experiences designed specifically for younger audiences.

The building is easy to navigate with elevators and clear entrances in this modern structure. Visitors with younger family members should look for the children's areas, as these form a major part of the experience here.

The TechSpace area allows visitors to interact with virtual reality games and digital art installations. This section demonstrates how modern technology creates new ways to engage directly with artistic works.
