Telfair Museums offers a diverse cultural experience across three distinct venues in Savannah. The Telfair Academy, a neoclassical mansion, houses 19th- and 20th-century American and European art. The contemporary Jepson Center features modern and contemporary works, interactive galleries, and a striking glass facade. The Owens–Thomas House, a Regency-style mansion, provides insight into early 19th-century urban life and decorative arts. Together, these sites showcase Savannah's artistic and architectural heritage, making the museum a comprehensive destination for art and history enthusiasts.
