Reviews
"First visit, and I've been in GA for 26 years. I was amazed at the artwork and facilty. The staff was helpful. Perfect for a date and gathering with friends; much to talk about. I've posted a few of my absolute favorites. The venue is spacious and pristine. 3 floors, stairs with a view, may be scary if you are afraid of heights. There are huge elevators for use. The experience was exceptional. I visited on a Sunday so quite a number of people yet still plenty of elbow room. As far as time, we leisurely perused for nearly 2 hours, but you can see it all in less time."
"This a beautiful place to admire and learn about art and history. You can visit with family and friends. They also have new exhibitions from time to time. The staff is also very friendly. I gave it a 4 stars since there were parts of the museum that were dirty and had dust under certain pieces particularly on the floor. I arrived right before they opened so one would think that they would have the place clean and ready."
"When we went, it wasn’t overly crowded but still a lot of people. I wouldn’t say it’s that small, there were many floors with a lot of pieces. Admission is under $20. Not too bad. Museum was clean and staff was pleasant. It took me a few hours to look at everything. I don’t go too fast in case I miss something."
"This is an excellent museum. There are a variety of exhibits featuring all kinds of art. The architecture itself is also stunning and adds to the museum. There is a lot of natural lighting as well which helps. If you live in the area, I suggest getting the annual pass because you can bring guests. There are also discounts for students, seniors and more."
"So I only saw a small portion of what they have due to chaperoning a bunch of kids for a school trip. What I saw was great. We saw the Paris, Samurai and the food court exhibit(these kids were taking about eating as soon as we got here). It's clean and the staff is really friendly. The Paris portion was cool. I'm not an art enthusiast but it was interesting. Now the Samurai exhibit was amazing. It's worth the price to get in just to see that. I loved it. When my oldest comes back for a visit from college in gonna drag the bum down here."
