Gibbes Museum of Art, Art museum in Charleston, United States
The Gibbes Museum of Art spans three floors in a Beaux Arts building, featuring over 10,000 works of American art and contemporary exhibitions.
James Shoolbred Gibbes provided $100,000 for the construction of the museum in 1901, leading to its grand opening on Meeting Street in 1905.
The museum collection includes numerous portraits, landscape paintings, and miniatures that document the artistic heritage of Charleston and the American South.
The first floor of the museum offers free access to classrooms, artist studios, and a museum store, while the main galleries require admission tickets.
The museum building features an original Tiffany-style glass dome that illuminates the central gallery space with natural light throughout the day.
