Telfair\'s Jepson Center Artzeum

ArtZeum

Come explore the ArtZeum!

The Jepson Center houses the ArtZeum (art-zee-um), our interactive children’s museum space. It’s designed with young people in mind, but challenges young and old alike to rethink their ideas about art. The ArtZeum features twenty-four activities exploring some big ideas about art: What is art? Why do we make art? How do we look at art? How do we value art?
