The Porcelain and Decorative Arts Museum opened at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in March 2021. The Museum features eight different gallery spaces that blend conservation, botanicals, art, beauty and curiosity. The Museum is a must-see for all art, history, garden and nature enthusiasts.

Adjacent to the building is the Garden of Discovery and Inspiration where visitors can connect to the living botanical collection that is represented on so much of the porcelain pieces in the museum.

The Museum holds the personal porcelain and decorative arts from Deen Day Sanders, a charter board member of State Botanical Garden. The space is designed to draw environmental and conservation connections to the collections in the museum.

The 313-acre State Botanical Garden of Georgia is a marvelous day trip all on its own. In addition to the Porcelain and Decorative Arts Museum, there are numerous themed gardens, over five acres of trails, an interactive Children's Garden, stunning tropical Conservatory, and a cafe and gift shop. Plan your visit!
