The Morris Museum holds nearly 5,000 works of art, including paintings, works on paper (watercolors, drawings, prints, and photographs), and sculpture, dating from the late-eighteenth century to the present. These works are displayed in galleries dedicated to antebellum portraiture, the Civil War, genre painting, still life, landscape, Southern impressionism, contemporary painting, and works on paper. In addition to its permanent collection galleries, the museum presents eight to ten special exhibitions every year and a rich variety of public programs, including lectures, readings, and concerts for a general audience, as well as more specialized programs for the museum’s affiliate membership groups—Friends of African American Art, Friends of the Library, Young at Art, and the Morris 100 collectors group—children, families, and school groups. The Morris Museum of Art is located on the Riverwalk, overlooking the Savannah River, at 1 Tenth Street in downtown Augusta, Georgia. The museum is open to the public from Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., and on Sunday from noon until 5:00 p.m. (The Morris is closed on Mondays and all major holidays.) Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for seniors, and students and members of the military with ID; it is free for museum members and children under the age of 6. Audio guides, providing interpretive information about the museum’s permanent collection, are free with admission.
