Gibbes Museum of Art
Est. 1905

Gibbes Museum of Art is housed in a Beaux Arts building in Charleston, South Carolina. It is managed by the Carolina Art Association.

Opening in 1905, the museum was initially known as Gibbes Memorial Art Gallery. The museum displays the oldest collection of American art in the Southeast, including 18th-, 19th- and early-20th-century paintings, photographs, works on paper, and sculpture.

Gibbes Museum of Art features the work of prominent national and international artists. Objects in each medium illustrate the history of Charleston as an important colonial and antebellum city. There also are archives containing the history of the Carolina Art Association, founded in 1858.

The museum store offers a wide range of gifts, books, note cards, prints, and jewelry.

The Gibbes School of Art, adjacent to the museum, conducts a variety of workshops and classes in drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, and sculpture for children, teens, and adults.
