Telfair Museums preserves, acquires and interprets original works of art and architecture, enriching its members, visitors and community through diverse exhibitions and educational programs.
It cares for a permanent collection of over 4,500 works of art from the United States, Europe, and Asia that fall into three distinct categories: historic buildings, fine arts, and decorative arts.
The Telfair offers 8 to 14 temporary exhibitions annually, typically opening two new exhibitions every 8 to 12 weeks, and the museum generally organizes at least half of the exhibitions it presents each year.
