A rt for A ll A ges 3 Museums to Visit in Atlanta
Atlanta is a hotbed of creativity, and its many destinations for fun, culture, and education prove it. The traditional oil paintings at the High Museum of Art and the interactive virtual exhibits at World of Coca- Cola are just a taste of the best of the Big Peach. World of Coca-Cola Widely acknowledged as the coolest museum in Atlanta and rated No. 1 on Trip Advisor, the World of Coca-Cola is an homage to the planet’s favorite beverage brand and features a “Milestones of Refreshment” history walk, interactive portrait wall, replica bottling line, and even the so-called “Chamber of the Secret Formula” where the company’s heavily guarded ingredient list is kept. Photo opportunities abound, and the museum offers its own app
to help visitors navigate the complex. Though the architect somehow overlooked the opportunity to shape the entire museum like an old-school Coke bottle, there is a massive sculpture of a cap caught in a bottle opener standing guard near the main entrance. High Museum of Art This spot made every list of must-see Atlanta museums on Conde Nast Traveler, Culture Trip, and others. This classic art museum features a rotating array of exhibits, frequent tours, and summer camps for kids. Some of this season’s highlights include European Masters, a selection of modern art from The Phillips Collection; an exhibit of 19th-century furniture, ceramics, quilts, and baskets called “Hand to Hand”; and a showcase of art from renowned author Maria
Kalman’s children’s books called “The Pursuit of Everything,” which just opened on June 22. National Center for Civil and Human Rights While it’s located right beside the World of Coca-Cola, this landmark museum couldn’t be more different. By telling the strikingly personal narratives of human rights advocates from around the world, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights seeks to accomplish a threefold mission: to educate, inspire, and empower visitors so they can truly take ownership of their fundamental rights. The museum is anchored in Atlanta’s history as a seat of the American Civil Rights Movement, but it also looks forward with programs that advocate for LGBTQ+ equity and an end to human trafficking.
