South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

The largest sculpture garden in the world - 350 acres!!! Gorgeous gardens, impeccable landscapes, a wide variety of sculpture in varying places (indoors and out). If you visit Myrtle Beach, this garden is an incredible surprise and well worth visiting for a few hours. They also have a small zoo, an explorer bus ride and also a pontoon ride thru the canals of the old rice plantations.

We went to Charleston to see Mary Whyte watercolor exhibit honoring veterans. We had an extra treat that Mary Whyte was at the Gallery answering questions. The paintings are amazing. Mary Whyte is a talented artist. Happy we made the trip and will be back to visit the Gallery in the future.

Gibbes Museum of Art

The Gibbes Museum enhances lives through art by engaging people of every background and experience with art and artists of enduring quality, by collecting and preserving art that touches Charleston, and by providing opportunities to learn, to discover, to enjoy, and to be inspired by the creative process. Recognized among the oldest arts organizations in the United States, the Gibbes has played a significant role in shaping the careers of American artists for over a century. The Museum connects the city and region's artistic past to a vibrant contemporary art scene.

The Gibbes is a fabulous art museum in Charleston that offers something for everyone. It's not overwhelming and easy to see in a couple of hours. The mobile app is great and has a variety of tour themes. The building is beautiful, especially the stained glass dome of the rotunda! From colonial through contemporary art, the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions explore the history of Charleston and the southern region. Their visiting artist series is a fun way to meet working artists in different mediums (I've met a Weaver and a taxidermy artist!) and the program schedule offers fun connections to what's on view. The garden concerts in the spring and fall are particularly fun, and the Gibbes on the Street event in April/May of each year is one of the best events in town.

Columbia Museum of Art

Reviewed By TarHeelLady

My sister and I were delighted to get to see this excellent exhibit of Van Gogh and his Influences at a museum in easy driving distance from our home. There were several beautiful Van Gogh works and a number of works by artists that influenced him. Everything was well presented and I would highly recommend it. There are not many days left to see it, but if you can, you won't regret it!
