Telfair Museum Store

The primary museum shop location for the Telfair Museum of Art is in the Jepson Center for the Arts. Other sites include the carriage house at the Owens-Thomas House and the Telfair Academy lobby, where a limited selection of merchandise is available. The merchandise in the museum stores reflects this architectural heritage as well as the gracious lifestyle of the former inhabitants. In keeping with the innovative architecture of the Jepson Center for the Arts, designed by Moshe Safdie, the store at that site features more contemporary merchandise.

It is also part of the stores' mission to reflect the region, the natural habitat, the artists and craftspeople of the area, and the rich cultural arts programs offered by the Telfair Museum through permanent and traveling exhibitions.

Books are the backbone of the shop's educational materials and, whenever possible, they are purchased from fine local publishers. Categories include fine art, architecture, Savannah and Georgia history, slavery and African-American history, the Civil War, regional arts and fine crafts, historic preservation, regional cooking, and the art and history of formal gardening.

Other merchandise--jewelry, gifts, paper products, and children's items--relate to the above topics and are offered with the goal of further enhancing the visitor's experience of both sites.
