The sky was clear of clouds and blue. There’s a light breeze tugging on the jackets of the dozens of people outside the Jepson Center for the Arts. The sun peeks over the buildings and makes Sunday, February 9, 2020 a pleasant and packed Super Museum Sunday.
Super Museum Sunday is an annual event put on by the Georgia Historical Society. All over Georgia, museums waive their entry fee, offering free admission to their galleries and exhibits during select hours.
Nearly every major museum in Downtown Savannah was full of families and tourists. Dozens of visitors crowded inside the galleries at the Jepson Center, Telfair Academy, SCAD Museum of Art and even The Children’s Museum.
There was a briskness in the air as SCAD students and community members joined around Savannah to enjoy an afternoon filled with learning.
“For me, Super Museum Sunday is great because I get to see all these different museums and experience all these varied mediums and types of art,” said Tyler Lowe, a second-year Graphic Design and Production Design major here at SCAD.
Lowe, who is currently working on a class project where students curate and design their own art exhibition, took a lot of inspiration from the various museums around Downtown Savannah.
“It’s really cool seeing how different museums lay out and curate their exhibits around certain themes,” said Lowe. “It’s definitely given me a lot to think about.”
