National Center for Civil and Human Rights:

The National Center for Civil and Human Rights reopened its doors in November after completing a $57.9 million expansion that fulfills the vision of its founders to become a museum and cultural institution and strengthens its role as a national leader in civil and human rights education. The expansion adds 24,000 square feet of new space, including six new galleries, one updated gallery, three classrooms, flexible event and meeting areas, and interactive experiences designed to connect history to pressing issues of today.

Georgia State Railroad Museum:

Located in Savannah, Georgia State Railroad Museum is a beautiful National Historic Landmark located at the former Central of Georgia Railway Savannah Shops and Terminal Facilities. With a fully operational turntable, you have the chance to explore historic railcars, experience the handcar, and go on guided tours. Be sure to check the train rides that run on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Schedules and locomotives are subject to change, please call ahead. (912) 651-6823. Free admission will apply on Sunday only.

High Museum of Art:

The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans.

Minnie Evans once said her drawings of harmoniously intertwined human, botanical, and animal forms came from visions of “the lost world,” or nations destroyed by the Great Flood as described in the Book of Genesis. After her grandmother died in 1934 and the visions she experienced in childhood became stronger, Evans produced a large body of work ranging from abstract to representational styles. More than one hundred of her artworks are presented in a range of contexts, from the extrasensory experiences of her visions to the double-edged realities of her life in the Jim Crow South. Her drawings, beautiful and complex, thus become portals into her “lost world.”

Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7 (the first full weekend of each month)
