SCAD Museum of Art

The SCAD Museum of Art is an art museum in downtown Savannah that presents rotating exhibitions of international artists alongside permanent collections. The holdings focus on African American art, photography, and contemporary works from various media.

The museum building opened in 2011 but incorporates the restored walls of a former railway depot from the 1850s. The depot originally served the Central of Georgia rail line.

The museum serves as a meeting space where established and emerging artists share the spotlight through regular rotating exhibitions. The shows change frequently, so the galleries constantly present new viewpoints on contemporary art.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sundays from noon to 5:00 PM, remaining closed Tuesdays. The galleries are straightforward to navigate and offer a good overview of the current collection in half a day.

The Walter O. Evans Collection here spans more than three centuries of African American artistic history. This holding is one of the most significant resources in the country for understanding the development of these artistic traditions.
