Tucked away in the heart of Savannah is a true cultural gem—the Savannah African Art Museum. This nonprofit museum isn’t just a place to look at beautiful art; it’s a space designed to educate, inspire, and spark meaningful conversations about the richness and spiritual depth of African cultures.
The museum is home to an impressive collection of over 1,000 authentic objects from across the African continent. These pieces—many dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries—are crafted from materials like wood, metal, and ceramics. Each item tells its own story, offering a glimpse into the traditions, beliefs, and daily lives of the people who created them.
Whether you’re a history buff, art lover, or just someone curious about the world, the Savannah African Art Museum offers a powerful and eye-opening experience that connects you to the roots, rhythm, and resilience of Africa.
