Telfair Museum of Art: Telfair Museum of Art, the oldest public art museum in the South, is housed in three separate buildings. The Telfair Mansion, built for the Royal Governor's son in 1818, was designed by English architect William Jay and, today, contains many of the original furnishings. In 1883, an addition was built, where exhibits of American and European paintings and sculpture are displayed.
The Owens-Thomas House, one of the country's best examples of English Regency architecture, displays most of the decorative arts collection and includes a museum store and an orientation gallery. The Jepson Center for the Arts, a state-of-the-art building that opened to the public in March 2006, is for major traveling exhibitions and 20th and 21st century works.
