Savannah has been going strong as a cultural hub since 1818 with the building of the Savannah Theatre, one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in the United States. However, that’s just the start of the cultural heritage of Savannah. The Lucas Theatre for the Arts was built in 1921 as a movie palace, but today it hosts stage productions, live music, and film screenings year-round. The Trustees Theater is another historic Savannah institution, and today the theater hosts film screenings and other events. The preservation of these beautiful historic theaters is largely in part, thanks to the work of SCAD, the Savannah College of Art and Design. The SCAD Museum of Art is another cultural icon and a contemporary art museum with rotating exhibitions plus a permanent collection of African art, British art, 19th-century photography, and other collections. Savannah is also the home of the oldest public art museum in the Southeast, the Telfair Museum of Art. The Telfair is a sprawling institution with 4,000 works of art that span 200 centuries from America and Europe. Part of the Telfair is the Jepson Center, a beautiful modern building with modern and contemporary art, hands-on children’s space, studio, and other features. African Art has a place of honor at the Savannah African Art Museum with over 1,000 objects from West and Central Africa, and at the Beach Institute African-American Cultural Museum. You can continue your exploration of Savannah’s museums with a visit to the Georgia State Railroad Museum to see historic railcars and learn about the Georgia Railway. The Savannah History Museum gives even more information on the area, taking you through the city’s history from 1733 to today. Located not far from these two facilities is the Savannah Children’s Museum, an interactive learning space with more than a dozen exhibits, a reading book, sensory garden, and other spaces to play. If you need even more museums to explore, visit the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum or the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum.
