During the week of April 27 – May 3, 2009 there is free admission at the Telfair Academy.
In 1886 the Telfair family home opened to the public as an art museum and school. It now boasts three diverse sites — the original building, the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, a National Historic Landmark building; the Owens-Thomas House, also a National Historic Landmark; and the Jepson Center for the Arts, a contemporary building which houses 20th- and 21st-century art.
Visitors can view the elegant nineteenth-century period rooms in this former Telfair family mansion, as well as the exhibitions Reframing a Perceptual Paradigm: A Jerome Meadows, Installation and Gaming Tables for Whist, Chess, and Other Amusements, at no charge.
