The Museum & Library of Confederate History is crammed full of original artifacts from the war, from guns to medical instruments, books to photographs, and more!
The Greenville County Museum of Art is considered the premier American art museum in the South, home to the world’s largest public collection of watercolors by iconic American artist Andrew Wyeth. The GCMA also has an impressive collection of paintings and prints by contemporary artist Jasper Johns, the largest institutional collection of pottery by 19th century artisan David Drake, and the largest collection outside the Smithsonian of works by South Carolina-born artist William H. Johnson.
And don't forget the Sigal Music Museum! This museum is home for the world-famous Carolina Clavier Collection—more than 40 English, European, and American pianos and harpsichords dating from 1570 to 1845. Included is a harpsichord that Mozart played!
