Went on their initial Open Mic night off spoken word. Great local talent with a feature artist. This night, the museum is also open 5-8PM/free. Beautiful museum with interesting exhibits. Gift shop had good offerings as well. You're also able to purchase artists work. Staffing friendly and helpful.

The Gibbes Museum is a treasure in French Quarter Charleston! With an array of galleries, this place is a great place for a solo visit to peruse and look at interesting and thought-provoking art. Friendly staff to assist with questions. We installed our “Tree of Every Color” for Art Charleston, an art festival happening in and around The Gibbes! It’s cool to be apart of such a wonderful artist community!

Small art museum. Variety of art. I recommend going after lunch so there are not school groups there like we experienced. Plan on about an hour to see everything.

This place is spectacular! We came on a Tuesday morning and it was perfect. There were a few tours and visitors, but it was quiet enough to enjoy. We came specifically for a couple of the temporary exhibits, but we were also amazed by the permanent collection! The building is beautiful as well. Overall, we were very impressed by everything and we’ll definitely be back.

Incredibly moving experience. The raw humanity in the art and horrors of our past. Terrible and beautiful at the same time. We have so much to be thankful for. I left heartbroken and inspired at the same time. I didn't know exactly what to expect before I walked in. I left more human.
