Drawing from nature, the splendors of bird watching, and the interconnectivity between humans and the natural world, this unique visual experience takes viewers on a journey between the Joseph Manigault House, The Dewberry hotel, and Garden & Gun’s Cigar Factory offices, each location sparking wonder and awareness of avian conservation. Curated and artistically directed by Kelly S. Turner, and produced by Garden & Gun, the exhibition centers on an immersive installation at the Joseph Manigault House, where viewers will step into a spectacular avian menagerie inspired by nineteenth century artist-naturalists. The exhibition features original works from contemporary artists Brandon Ballengée, Clare Celeste Börsch, and J. Drew Lanham, as well as historical specimens and objects from the Charleston Museum’s expansive collections. For more information, visit

Sports have historically been important to our personal well-being. In addition to the health benefits of physical activity, life values such as teamwork, discipline, and emotional self-control are frequently learned through recreational games. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the rise of a variety of sports across the country, and these inevitably found their way to Charleston. Join us to view historic photographs from the Museum's Archives collection of sporting moments from the Lowcountry.
