A very nice little museum for Savannah College of Art and Design. I came here during a road trip, partly because I am considering going to SCAD for my Masters and also just out of wanderlust. They had several exhibits from different students and alumni. I think my favorite was the Ring Redux collection by Susan Grant Lewin. As a sculptor, I found the multitude of totally unique rings very fascinating and I thought it was a very cool idea for an exhibit!

Nice museum. Undergoing renovations so not all halls open. Staff nice. The beach was fun.

What a museum.Galleries progress in a loop.Beautiful, open, light interior spaces are interspaced with dark caves for film screening.Student docents are in most galleries, offering up some real enthusiasm.To me, this museum is an ideal size for the visual attention span - expect to spend the length of a feature film here.And the featured collections were a wild ride of diverse perspectives and media forms.Well done, SCAD Museum.

Very eclectic mix of installations with a little something for everyone. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable docents enhanced the visit.

What a great museum! Most staff there are students from SCAD and they were very friendly and knowledgeable about exhibitions there. We enjoyed learning about arts and artists from students staff there. Highly recommended.

Modern arts amazed me! My 11 and 8-year old hildren were entertained, too.

There were many interesting exhibits to see while we were there. Videos have their own room with bean bags to sit on which is nice. They have educated people among the artwork to help better understand and get to know the art pieces you are looking out.

If you like MODERN art, you will enjoy this thoughtfully curated small museum. We went at 3:30 on a Friday and got discounted admission! Unless you are someone who enjoys staring at everything for an hour, honestly, an hour is all you need. All the docents know a lot of about the art and can give you insight to the pieces you are looking at. I really enjoyed knowing some of the back story and inspiration behind the works. I think its a worthy place to go.

This is a small museum, but it is not tiny. We saw many interesting pieces, and there was a room with a movie screen that is extended in front of you. There are cushions on the floor meant for reclining and watching the film. The film was very artsy LOL of course - visually stunning, jarring, and at times confusing, but never boring. The film was beautifully shot. The museum has a tranquil outdoor courtyard for sitting. We visited on a warm December day.

Went in just to look around and got a whole new experience. As I was walking looking at the art I got invited to their 4d movie. It was wonderful.

Things we liked: The staff was friendly and let us know that if we had a Bank Of America card that we could get in for free. So I got in free and my wife got in for only $5 for having an out-of-town student ID. Thanks! Things we didnt like: Almost everything else. I know, I know, art is so subjective and isnt something easily defined but listen... The stuff we looked at is the kind of art that people make fun of. Sunglasses in a glass box, a suitcase in the middle of the floor, the things that spin in a carwash, construction materials?... I think at one point there was a dark room with a video on a loop of someone in a bear suit? Im surprised there was no banana taped to a wall. Were not total Neanderthals either -- Im a musician and writer and my wife is a dancer. We typically enjoy art museums but I guess this visit was just a little too advanced for us. We expected a large museum of technically focused art but what we found was only one floor of deeply conceptual art. Im eternally grateful that we only payed $5 to walk through this. At least we came out with a hilarious story.

The 1 star posted without my knowledge. We actually had a great experience at the museum. The staff were both wonderful and knowledgeable about the art. All members truly made family feel welcome. Changed to 4 star experience, would love to come back.

Nice museum. Took us about two hours to wander through it. Worth checking out if you like modern art.

There always very interesting artworks and exhibitions. The coutyard is also amazing, it is a part of an old railroad.

Amazing exhibits perfect atmosphere and the place is beautiful

Looks like an amazing museum

Cool museum, lots of interesting exhibits and a ton of guides to answer questions. Free for military

Wonderful experience. The staff that explained each artist were phenomenal and so excited about what they were explaining.The artists selected (Sept2020) were amazing.

Shows up now and through the beginning of this year are strong.

Its nice, evey quarter I guess? They change the exhibitions so thats pretty cool. It is small and the vibe really depends on whats there. Second floor is for students and the theater, again, you need to check of there is something happening. Overall its a really good museum!

Have visited several times, always amazing new art.

A really nice art museum for locals and tourists.Nice installations that you can touch or talk to a museum rep and get the scoop.8 yr old daughter and I had a great time.. Highly recommend

I brought my twin boys (age 9) to the opening day of this museum. We have been anticipating this for quite sometime now, marking the progress of the renovation of old, historic structures with modern ones this past year. What an incredible place! The space is outstanding for displaying artwork, the grounds are beautifully designed with sensitivity to century old remnants. Parking was not a problem, and there is also the visitor public parking lot just next door if a street space is not available. The exhibits were fantastic and easy to view and admire. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful and really seemed to enjoy their job. We spent two hours, even revisiting several of the exhibits for a second time. You do not want to miss this, even if you are not a typical visitor of art museums.

A one-of-a-kind amalgamation of history, education, art and design. An architectural gem!

A beautifully renovated building houses 3-4 exhibits at a time making it the perfect size for a 30 min - 1 hour tour.

We LOVED it. We were almost put off by all the negative reviews but so glad we went anyway. It’s a smaller museum but there was PLENTY to look at. It took us over an hour to go through it which felt like the perfect amount of time. The selection of art was very cool as was the architecture of the building. I thought the price was more than reasonable and we stopped for some sandwiches in the small cafe before leaving. Excellent, excellent experience.

Must visit!

My husband, daughter, who is a SCAD student, and I visited the museum last week and, as usual, were fascinated and impressed with the diverse and amazing exhibits. The fashion display was awesome. The wood pieces that weighed tons and were composed of thousands of individual pieces intricately joined together were mind blowing. The Madonna media exhibit was so clever and entertaining. Drawing with Light was fascinating in its simplicity. We always enjoy the museum and this visit was no exception. Bravo SCAD1

Its not big, but its art you have to stop and consider. A lot of interesting reading, not just about the art but in the art too. I really enjoyed it.

Beautifully nourished

It was alright, definitely worth it factoring in the Bank of America discount half of our group got. Neat modern art exhibits, with a little bit of fashion, architecture, and a historic exhibit of art themed on Frederick Douglass. I would recommend SCADstory and the Jepson center instead while they’re around if you have to pick.

One floor museum connected to the school, not many pieces or exhibits. I love that its connected to the school, but the art wasnt our speed, I guess. One exhibit kinda reminded me of the hodgepodge shelving at my local thrift store with random household items. We wouldnt go back.

Its not huge, but the exhibitions that are here are REALLY fantastic. Photography, 3-d design, artworks, sculpture, fashion...each exhibition was one of the best Ive seen anywhere and I only wish we could return again and again! Also half to say the staff (who I think were mostly SCAD students?) were engaged, friendly and really informative about each artists process and explaining the artwork.

Very small. There were a lot of photos from the 70s. There was a very strange film playing from a museum in Moscow, with no explination. I really thought I was going to see work from the students who attend SCAD.

Im pretty sure that this is my favorite museum in the SE US. I visit it every year and something always takes my breath away. This year was no exception...so much creativity and imaginitive interpretation on display that Ill be inspired for months!

Fantastic museum! The best part are the students throughout the building who will tell you all sorts of things about the exhibits-- dont miss interacting with them. What a treat!

Small enough to enjoy in a day or half day, but well curated and diverse collections (when we came). SCAD students distributed throughout the museum to answer questions or chat about the displays. We really enjoyed Iron for the Ages, Flowers for the Day. Super affordable!

This place was magical. Transports you to another place with each piece of art and photography. Wish I could have spent longer there. Everyone is super helpful and informed

I recently went to the Little Black Dress exhibit. I loved the exhibit and was very pleased with the museum staff who were extremely courteous and helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit to The SCAD Museum to visitors as well as locals!

As a student/alumni here, I love this space. Its very comfortable to relax in and the exhibits are amazing. Its an excellent building to visit.

Very nice, but a bit small. I had to go for my Art final and review the art. I had planned for at least a couple hours, but was surprised when I flew through it within a half hour, if that. I even asked the employee to make sure I didnt miss anything. Some employees were nice and offered information, while others watched you like a hawk. Awkward.

SCAD MOA is one of the coolest museums in the country. The exhibition spaces and the courtyard lend themselves to meditation. The content of exhibits is extraordinary plus the staff are helpful and professional.

The SCAD Museum of Art was an interesting study in contradictions. I found the artwork largely uninteresting and inaccessible. The rest of the family, though, seemed to really like it. We all thought we were going to see exhibits of artwork by the students at the school, which I would have found much more interesting and engaging. The admission seems very high for the limited number of pieces on display, and I echo others reviews pointing out that the space isnt that large and much of it was wasted. The place needs better signage to keep people moving in the right direction (we got into an area with restrooms and exits to the outside but no way back into the exhibits without the friendly intervention of a security guard). They confiscated our backpacks upon entry and, while their claim check system worked well and seems consistent with other art museums we have visited, it was just a bit off-putting.

Incredible venue for any reception or wedding. Stunning indoor and outdoor space, with incredible attention to accessibility. Highly recommend for photography and videography.

Spacious layout, this regional college art gallery could be challenging to those expected a traditional art museum with art from past centuries. We only expererienced contemporary works there. If there was more upstairs, we werent aware of it. The students who staff the entrance were very kind and eager to inform us of the Savannah College of Art and Design concept of combining the current times and experiences in tandem with the old. I loved the entrance walls with 18th century art and contemporary images that reflected the similarities of people. Inside the museum, I found the student docents to be mostly helpful and eager to share their outlooks on the art, explaining the interpretation to us if we asked. I think I offended one when I offered a different interpretation, but I was really just curious. In the long hallway on the back outside of the building were some interesting installations. Again, when we asked, the docent was very eager to tell us about the installation process and more. Overall, it was a very good visit. Took 45 minutes - hour, and we passed on the exhibit on the opposite side of the lobby. Theres a pretty little coffee shop, very modern. We didnt buy anything, but it looked interesting.

Some cool stuff. Maybe not worth the admission price.

This inexpensive museum features some fantastic contemporary and near-contemporary artists. Probably due to school not being in session the museum was quite empty of visitors, which was a good thing for me.

Small but very interesting gallery. Not afraid to show controversy art work except no spiritual religious works here.

Super cool place Art and Design out of this world stop and see this artwork incredible

As a former student, the SCAD Museum had a lot of build up that I never really saw a follow through for. The building itself is definitely beautiful, still trying to understand the atrium though. I just finding myself wishing for more in terms of the actual exhibits. The museum also puts the students in a bit of a predicament because the hours when the museum is closed, the courtyard is as well. This courtyard is attached to a SCAD 24 hour academic building, that without access to the courtyard, loses a major entrance and exit.I really enjoyed the Black Dress exhibit and wish that the museum could include more enticing collections like that one. I give the museum a higher vote just in the hopes that it will start including more exhibits like this. I would also love if the museum were to have a SCAD student collection on display at all times, because I feel like if people wish to visit a SCAD Museum, we should showcase what weve got right under our noses on our own campus.

A modern but beautiful building containing several large gallery spaces, when I visited Dec 17 there were some amazingly curated exhibitions and it wasnt too busy at all.

Despite being a small museum with not too many exhibits, the artwork available is always interesting and varied based on SCADs majors. Beautiful interior design and kind, informative staff.

Visited here and the art was amazing

I have PTSD. I can’t be in a loud, dark space and in order to go anywhere in the museum you have to go through an unbeliavably loud theatrical sound installation. Poorly thought through. It’s not anyone’s fault but I feel like I wasted $15 between my husband and I only to be met with that inconsiderate obstacle.

...So was inspiring.

Diverse exhibitions and was small enough to manage seeing every piece.

The best museum of Art Ive ever been to...the way they select artists and how they curate their shows is exemplary:)

Great exhibits. If you’re a scad student it’s free.

It was really dissapointing, I thought there would be art from the students. There wasnt any! All the art was really weird too. The price was also too high, it was 10.00 for an adult and there was only 8 areas with like 4-6 pieces. I wouldnt really reccomend

Not the most extensive art museum but very good with interesting exhibits

What it lacks in size is made up for by amazing exhibits & staff!

Very friendly docents that greeted folks in each room.

Check out the gift shop of the designers in SCAD. Pretty unbelievable!

If youre a graphic designer, you should consider this fine college.

A great example of the fine arts.

Great place to see

Another tourist trap!- No brochure or map of the museum.- No posted description of the current art work.- Over-priced for such an INCOMPLETE exhibition.- Lacks information about art work, artist concept/goals, etc.- Most importantly, no posted sign Parental discretion or explicit content..., we walked into this gallery where sculptures had exposed the male and female genitalia. My little girl was very ashamed and offended, very uncomfortable for her. Norhing against the art work, but a sign giving a heads up to at least make my little girl aware and out of respect ask her. Totally fail...Well, you have been warned, unless you like architecture, the galleries are still in diapers and artists or whatever they are need to be more technical and less conceptual.

Can I get my money back? The alumni gallery was especially trite. Small space overall and most of it was wasted. Could have fit the art into the size of a dumpster. Hmm...

I got drug through this place. Its like someone combined a museum and a psychiatric ward.

Its definitely worth a visit.

Mostly amateur art. Paid too much. Small exhibit.

Pretty cool place.

Beautiful collection of art

Cool exhibits

Amazing

Good museum

Very little to see for the admission price

Not much to see ....

Waste of time.

Great

Nice museum. Unique. Good to stop by for an hour. And the parking is available next to the building and $ 1 perHour.It was a good museum to take a break while traveling on Savannah. It was also good to cool the heat in the heat which is close to 90 degrees. Parking is available in the immediate parking lot. Its $ 1 an hour.
