Filming & Photography Info
Telfair Museums is excited to support film and photography in our beautiful museum spaces!
We reserve the right to approve any scene in which the interior or exterior of our buildings is included. We also may decline involvement in any project. We ask that all projects be submitted in advance and in writing; in-person requests or requests without advanced notice will not be considered.
Pricing varies by project.
