Established as the Carolina Art Association in 1858, the Gibbes Museum of Art opened its doors to the public in 1905. Located in Charleston's historic district, the Gibbes houses a premier collection of over 10,000 works of fine art, principally American works with a Charleston or Southern connection.
In 2005, the Gibbes Museum of Art[1] celebrated the centennial anniversary of its Beaux Arts building at 135 Meeting Street.
