Like Columns and Down SpoutsText Box: ‘Tabby’ is a type of concrete material used to make lots of things in Old Savannah.  It is made from sand, limestone, and oyster shells.  It was used to make buildings, sidewalks and even tombstones!

Art Zeum was a kid friendly interactive portion of the Telfair Museum in Savannah.  What was really neat about it, was aside from exploring “What is Art?” they also covered a lot of ‘artistic’ information about Savannah, the city.  That was a lot of fun because the kids actually could see things on our travels that had been explained to them in the museum! 

Building Blocks

In the block sections they had blocks that mimics architecture around the city.  You could build actual city buildings! 

Other cool things that were hands on here included “How to read a robe” that talked about symbolism in different cultures.  A really fun thing the kids did was a huge magnetic wall that was like a super magnet.  They used household items to create art.  There were also various high tech gizmos that made really cool art of you just standing, or moving, and a self portrait exhibit from kids in grades 3-5.
