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.

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.

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 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 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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

This museum by far is State Of The Art built. Youre surrounded by many different lessons in detailed history and breath taking art. Visit atleast twice and soak it in slowly.

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

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

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

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

This museum was quite impressive. Loved seeing the exhibits and learning what SCAD has contributed to this area.

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