Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC

In a city steeped in culture and lineage, one name stands out above all the others. With a single stroke of his pen, Mr. James Shoolbred Gibbes guaranteed that Charleston would have a premier art museum, and for over one hundred years his name has been synonymous with the best that the Charleston visual arts has to offer. 

The Gibbes Museum of Art preserves and promotes the art of Charleston and the American South by collecting, researching, maintaining and publicizing its collections, creating innovative exhibitions, and developing interpretive and educational programs.
