I loved the art here! If youre into folk art, in particular, their Ulysses Davis collection is fantastic!

Will Be Visiting Again With My GF....... Beautiful Space and Rich In Authentic History!!!!!!!!!!

It was a beautiful experience Im glad I had the opportunity to come history behind it its amazing

We took the Freedom Trail tour and this was one of the stops. There was beautiful artwork on display and lots of history to discover. I really enjoyed my visit and plan to return.

Interesting and informative! Nice art gallery and Black history!

The Beach Institute African-American Cultural Center of Savannah, GA is a premiere museum and art gallery featuring African-American Art and Exhibitions. The spouse and I visited them on February 14th approximately around 11am when they had just opened. The young lady that was working on the morning gave us an quick speech about the history of the building.On the bottom floor there is a small gift shop, and then there is 3 floors of art collections. The building does have a small courtyard behind the building, which would be very nice seating and enjoying the sunny weather. There is also a 3 private visitor parking spaces behind the building and street parking nearby.The building does have an elevator and is handicapped accessible to the second and third floor.The architecture of the building is very well maintained and is in excellent condition considering the buildings age. The art artifacts was kind of overwhelming because they have some much, so I would plan accordingly so you dont have to rush thru.I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys African American history and I would definitely revisit them again.

Great place to visit full of history they dont teach in school

The Beach Institute was on my list of must see places in Savannah! Before going in we wandered around outside the entire bldg and took a few pics. They do have a backyard courtyard for entry inside center. The lovely courtyard has some benches for relaxing. I arrived approx. 11AM and we had the culture center to ourselves. The staff gave us some history and explained everything to us. Parking was available on the side of street.There are 3 floors consisting of art work and sculptures of AAM history. There is a small gift shop when you enter thru the back door. The Beach Institute was the first official school for African Americans in Savannah, GA. Today it is used as a cultural center and a preservation center. We took our time and viewed everything on all the floors. The bldg. is well kept and will be enjoyed for yrs to come!I recommend you put this gem on your Savannah to do list! Its well worth a visit.

Nice staff never knew beach high school had a museum until i clean the 3 story building

Went here with Freedom Trail tours. You will not be disappointed!

Many of the exhibits were not accessible due to renovation. The guy was very friendly but didnt seem very knowledgeable we sort of walked around on our own. I still am very proud that this is a part of the black community and Savannah and its preserved. I recommend checking it out.

Nice museum with a beautiful garden. Was exhibiting some great artifacts on the Gullah Geechee Africa history how they connect to Savannah Georgia

Learned so much about Gullah history. Awesome exhibits. Lovely courtyard.

Absolutely love this Museum. Also a great venue for events!!

In itself the museum has great display cases. If Id started at the bottom my mind and therefore my train of thinking would have been on a different path. But I decided to start at the class room where they went on a picture path to show the road to emancipation. With pictures of Harriet Tubman and Isabella Baumfree. There were 3 pictures of black women and about 23 pictures of white men. But not one black man. I wasnt outraged I was sorrowful and as I walked down and looked through the rest of the museum it caused a different perspective. One I wont put in the mind of anyone else. I didnt like it but everything isnt for everyone.

Loved it educationally. Subject matter of some of it, is unfortunately our history.

I believe its the first high school for African-American in Savannah. Its been turned into an art gallery that showcases the citys history. Really good & informative.

Wow. Amazing artwork. So vibrant and rich. A must see place.

A wonderful art gallery filled with the only African American contemporary artists in the area. A must visit right in the heart of the historic landmark district.
