Gibbes Museum of Art

Just beyond the front doors of the Gibbes, guests are welcomed by 11-foot ceilings, original crown molding, porcelain tile, and hardwood floors. The 1905 window and door openings add a touch of old Charleston to a very polished and modern sense of hospitality. The reception hall offers a glass curtain wall providing views of the classical garden—the perfect backdrop for any private event. The exposed brick walls and rose marble flooring throughout exude a timeless elegance.

As you ascend the double staircase, you will enter into the grand arcade complete with the original 1905 porcelain tile floor and light fixtures. In the main gallery you will experience history through American art dating back to the eighteenth century, and find yourself surrounded by neoclassical sculpture in the rotunda galleries. This 1,345 square foot sculpture hall lends itself to an intimate dinner setting or romantic wedding ceremony. The rotunda gallery is marked with its Tiffany-style art glass dome, porcelain tile floor, original light fixtures, and molding, and is truly the jewel of the Gibbes Museum.

The Lenhardt Garden is a classical European-style garden with contemporary touches. The stunning allée, created by live oaks with lush plantings, surrounds the garden and provides an intimate space for an unforgettable evening.
