Michael C. Carlos Museum

"Had a chance to take a trip to Micheal C. Carlos Museum by Gwinnett & Marta Transit with a Gwinnett Library pass. The museum is located within Emory University. Two level museum with interesting artifacts from all over the world. I had two hours before closing to tour the whole entire place and was well worth it."

"Impressive collection of ancient/historical artifacts and art from around the world. You can easily spend between 45 minutes and 2 hours in the museum. Clean and comfortable environment to take it all in."

"Another gem of the area. This museum specializes in ancient artifacts from all over the world. Displays and facilities are first class from personal items and statues to Egyptian mummies. Nicely laid out and easy to follow. Size is great for a 2-4 hour visit depending on how much reading you do. Audio tours are available. Admission at around $8 is great. Parking is a short walk in the parking structure."

"I had the best time in this place. The staff are so kind and everyone was friendly. I learned a lot about different places and cultures. My favorite part was the Greek Sculptures. I felt like I traveled to Greece. Definitely would re-visit. I got a free pass from my library. That’s another thing the public library near you offers if you didn’t know. It’s family friendly. You will have to pay for packing here but it’s not expensive. Definitely worth it! And you will have to get a ticket for the after life experience. Amazing experience!"

"Excellent museum! I enjoyed it very much. The Michael C. Carlos Museum has the largest ancient art collections in the Southeast, including objects from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Near East, Africa and the ancient Americas. The collections are housed in a Michael Graves designed building which is open to the public."
