Telfair Museums is a historic public art institution in Savannah, Georgia, founded in 1883 through the bequest of Mary Telfair and is the oldest public art museum in the Southeast. The complex comprises three buildings—Telfair Academy, Owens-Thomas House, and the Jepson Center—each reflecting the era of its construction and housing distinct collections. The Telfair Academy presents 19th- and 20th-century American and European art in a Regency-style building designed by William Jay; the Owens-Thomas House exemplifies English Regency architecture and preserves decorative arts along with rare urban slave quarters and a parterre garden; the Jepson Center exhibits contemporary art. The museum serves a broad audience of local residents and visitors, linking three centuries of art and history in Savannah and providing educational and cultural programming across these eras. In 2024 the institution appointed Dr. David A. Brenneman as its director and CEO, effective September 2024, marking a notable leadership update.
