You are invited on a fairy tale journey that includes the world premier of Cinderella’s Royal Feast by Michael Ching, an opera written and presented in collaboration with students from Esther F. Garrision School for the Arts, that we know your whole family will enjoy.
The STEAM Center will be located inside the 1925 historic Storehouse of the Central of Georgia Railway campus, between Savannah Children’s Museum and Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah.
The indoor expansion will debut Numbers in Nature, an interactive STEAM-focused exhibit that will allow visitors to step into a captivating maze of mirrors designed to challenge perceptions and spark curiosity.
Malcolm and Julia Butler have generously committed to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $150,000 for the STEAM Center. Funds raised from this matching campaign will be used to finalize preparations to welcome guests into the new museum space.
Nora Lee, CEO of Coastal Heritage Society, expressed gratitude to all donors who share and support the vision for this new cultural and educational resource for the local community — the Butlers; City of Savannah Government for their partnership; Colonial Group, Inc., the Lesher Family Foundation, and other donors for their vision and support to help get this project off the ground.
