South Carolina State Museum, State museum in Columbia, United States
The South Carolina State Museum occupies four floors with exhibits covering art, natural history, science, technology, and regional cultural development.
The museum building, constructed in 1893 as a textile mill, underwent extensive renovation in 1988 to become South Carolina's largest cultural institution.
The museum preserves and presents artifacts that tell the story of South Carolina's development through Native American objects, Civil War relics, and industrial innovations.
