GeorgiaThe SCAD Museum of Art is the contemporary art museum of the Savannah College of Art and Design, presenting rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary work along with the college's growing permanent collection, including its Walter O. Evans Collection of African American Art. The institution traces to 2002, when it was established as the Earle W. Newton Center for British American Studies, and was renamed the SCAD Museum of Art in 2006. It occupies an 1853 brick railroad depot of the Central of Georgia Railway, the oldest surviving antebellum railroad complex in the United States and a National Historic Landmark. In 2011 architect and SCAD alumnus Christian Sottile transformed the ruins into an award-winning museum, threading sleek galleries and a soaring lantern tower through the preserved masonry, a celebrated example of adaptive reuse.
