Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, Art museum in Historic Downtown Savannah, United States.
The Telfair Academy building showcases a classical architectural style with symmetrical design, central porch, and columns on its white stone facade.
The mansion, constructed in 1819 for Alexander Telfair, transformed into a museum in 1886 through Mary Telfair's bequest to the Georgia Historical Society.
The permanent collection contains over 6,300 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces displayed across multiple gallery spaces.
The museum operates Thursday through Tuesday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees ranging from free for children under 5 to $30 for adults.
The Telfair Academy stands as the first art museum in the southern United States and the first museum in the nation established by a woman.
