Jepson Center for the Arts Review

On Telfair Square is the Telfair Museum's newest gallery (2006), an unexpectedly contemporary building amid so many 18th- and 19th-century structures that are the city's hallmark. Within the steel-and-glass edifice you can find permanent hangings of Southern art, African-American art, and photography. There's a sculpture gallery and an outdoor sculpture terrace in addition to interactive, kid-friendly exhibits.

    Part of the Telfair museum's complex, this is a very modern building in an otherwise architecturally historic area. The gallery space is surprisingly not large, given over mostly to temporary exhibits. Its worth will depend on how good these exhibits are, as very little of its permanent holdings are available to view (and what I saw from the permanent holdings wasn't notable).
