    Free museum in Atlanta a little hidden jam! Parking is free entry is free and it's a smaller space so it's a lot more intimate. The employees were very friendly and nice and explained the layout of the museum. They have a shop that you can purchase items to help support the museum! Below are a few pictures from the Winter 2024 Exhibition Opening.

    Contemporary art usually goes over my head and I don't always agree with the overt political messages in the art, but I enjoyed my visit to the museum this morning. It's a beautiful and engaging space in what looks like it was an industrial neighborhood that is quickly gentrifying with expensive condos. Free parking was a plus. A number of exhibits in the different spaces, these seem to be temporary exhibits rather than permanent ones. Different and odd and unique and in some instances, thought provoking. I enjoyed my visit The museum is also free admission though they're happy to take your donations. [Review 10560 overall, 327 of 2019.]

    Great free art and a place to to chill and hang out.

    FREE art museum, but they do take donations but it's a great place to goof off and take nice pictures!!!

    I went to the gallery opening on January 23rd and was very impressed. The gallery was very well curated, the atmosphere was great, and I got to meet a couple of the artists. The art here was very captivating and inspiring. I only wish there was more to see. I will definitely be back to see what else they add.

    A small tidbit of their current exhibit.

    The ACAC is a lovely place to spend the afternoon with the family or the SO (only a $5 entry fee!). I was quite charmed - maybe it was the peach wallpaper (which seriously got that Presidents of the USA song in my head for a few hours there).... It's a smaller space, than you'd expect for a museum/gallery, but I like that it's a more intimate setting. The exhibit is made up of contributions from local artists as well as a few "donated" pieces from the Atlanta History Center. One of the reasons why I enjoyed the exhibit so much is that most of the pieces are relatable - not some weird, abstract piece that you have no comprehension of what the artist is trying to communicate; but just as beautiful and intriguing. The staff is very nice and incredibly knowledgeable, if they're free, make sure to get in a quick chat!

    What the heck is in the basement? Love it!

Besides that, such a wonderful experience! I love the crisp white and architectural look of there building. The courtyard had cute seating. The entry was very open and spacious. They do offer a coat check, had a cute little café style area off to the side, and there gift shop was everything! Get a taste of some nice art pieces in there lobby. Each staff member that I came in contact with, from the beginning to the end was so nice and helpful. And there's nothing greater than a clean restroom...WIN! I had the opportunity to catch the Viktor & Rolf exhibit. I'm a fashion lover girlie and this was, such a joy of a time for me! I did get turned around a little trying to locate the exhibit... but when I did, the elevator doors opened and boom... the art in fashion slapped me in my face(lol). They did a awesome job and recommend, if it returns or has a showing in another city go see it.

As someone that claims Italian Cuisine as their favorite, this exhibit was a fascinating treat. Some of the highlights were the following: -.Learning about the History of Pasta, First Past Making Factories, Pasta Production, Production of Pasta Design, etc. - Italy's role in Pasta Creation / Development. - Introduction of Various Pasta Machines & Pasta Packaging. - Shapes, Ingredients & other tools used to make pasta. - Pasta Pictures & Pasta-Lover Quotes. -Videos of People Making Signature Pasta & Pasta Dishes Learning about Lasagna, Ravioli & tortellini was wonderful!

Tickets run about $26.95 for standard adult admission, with slight variations depending on the day and if purchased online or in person. Given the sheer scale of the grounds, it feels like a fair value. I went on a weekday, which I highly recommend. Parking is incredibly straightforward, you park right on-site at the SAGE Parking Facility. It starts at $3 per hour, but keep in mind that the garage is entirely cashless, so you will need a card. Also if there is an event at Piedmont Park, parking may be impacted. Check-in was quick, and while there were visitors, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The entire experience flowed smoothly from start to finish. This is perfect for a solo adventure. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary with the Super Bloom display, and it showed. There were over 200,000 tulips and spring bulbs throughout the garden. When I reached the Great Lawn, it opened up into a full sea of color. The visual texture of so many layered, vibrant petals blooming all at once was stunning. Each section felt different. One moment I was surrounded by vibrant florals, the next I was walking through lush greenery that felt almost like a rainforest and the air was so clean. It naturally slowed me down in the best way. The Orchid Daze exhibit was a highlight for me. It was calm, lightly fragrant, and tucked away enough to feel like a quiet escape. I ended up staying longer than expected. It would have been nice, if they had more dedicated seating areas. There weren't many spaces designed for just sitting and being, closer to the flowers especially if you wanted to relax without being in the middle of foot traffic. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There were also great spots for photography, I saw everything from casual photos to full-on portrait sessions. On-site Dining If you plan to stay for a while there is a restaurant on-site, which is convenient. The menu was simple, light bites, sandwiches, and seasonal options. Pricing was about what you'd expect for a major attraction, averaging around $25 to $40 per person for a casual lunch. Overall: A way to slow down and take things in. Peaceful, beautiful, and worth the visit. I'm already curious to see how it will transform for summer.

    My experience at this botanical garden was pretty mid. Not worth the $35 paid in my opinion…read more The garden overall was pretty neat and clean. A good place to walk around. However, the variety of plants and exhibits weren't very impressive. It was also disappointing to see the lady flower landmark not fully ingrained with flowers around late April. The most impressive part to me were the greenhouse plant exhibits. There was a good variety of plants there from different corners of the world. The outdoor exhibits were just not that interesting. Parking is an additional charge, so my friend and I did free street parking nearby and just walked to the entrance. They also have a couple food options within the gardens. My friend and I got some popsicles for $5 which was nice since it was pretty humid at the time we went. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend, but I didn't have a terrible time here.

    Millennium Gate Museum was a complete waste of time and money on our most recent trip to Atlanta…read more Coming from Tennessee, I felt this would be a unique and similar experience to the Parthenon Replica in Nashville complete with curated exhibits, art galleries, statues, and a park. However, the entire experience was lacking and felt like a dated, run down tourist trap. Upon arrival the actual monument is beautiful. The park is pretty and has nice views of the city. We paid for admission to the museum which is $12 for General Admission and $10 for Students. Even with the student discount, this felt like an overreach for what we got out of the experience. There was only one worker and there were no other patrons in the museum this day AT ALL. It was very quiet and awkward. The indoor galleries consisted primarily of a long hallway with antique furniture with pictures of random people from Atlanta. The gallery was primarily pictures (that I could see online for free) with descriptions and did not contain many actual artifacts or items to look at. The few cases had weird assortments of items such as plates, buttons, and kitchen utensils. It felt like I was looking through the remains of a yard sale, with many items not even having descriptions. Overall the exhibit did not feel very curated, but rather felt like an odd assortment of someone's old junk put on display. We were unable to see the rooftop conservatory that was advertised online with pretty views of the parks. I feel this should be excluded from the website and marketing for General Admission if it is not accessible and staffed properly. The outdoor spaces are pretty; however, these could be visited for free outside of museum admission and did not require payment. Overall the entire museum took approximately 20 minutes to walk through, and left us feeling scammed. It was awkward walking past the one worker after we quickly walked through what little the museum had to offer. I would not recommend this to anyone and will skip this on our next trip to Atlanta.

It piqued and I decided to take a closer look and it turned out to be a history museum! I wandered in and it was deserted so was unsure of how it was going to be. It turned out to be a beautiful but small museum with a lot of interesting artifacts from Georgia/US history, WWII and also has fragments from the Bodmer Papyrus (worth Googling) There were also a lot of moving letters on display about a board member who had recently passed, Asa Candler VI (descendant of the Coco-Cola founder). Based on the letters, he was a truly wonderful man who had an amazing life and touched a lot of people positively. Condolences to the family.

It's a shrine to unchecked capitalism and leans into imperialism (the net effects of Coca-Cola throughout the world are... not great. The literal world). The propaganda that makes up 50-70% of the museum is Orwellian in its hypnotic suggestive effect. I know this. I know all of this. My left-wing principles cried out to experience what I claim to despise. But. BUT. BUT!!! All that goes out the window when you're faced with all-you-can-drink Coca-Cola products from around the world. Maybe those initial addictive* ingredients are still a part of the secret recipe. Maybe there's something about the smell/sound/sight/fizz/taste that lights up ones lizard brain and won't be satisfied with anything other than a distended belly full of sugary corn syrup. Perhaps nostalgia can override cognition. Who knows. All I know is that when I got to the end of the tour and saw station after station of brown, black, red, purple, blue (!) liquid and knew that the only limit to my gluttony was the capacity of my human body... something... broke? I had to try them all. Pokemon had nothing on me. And a taste wouldn't do. Not even if I didn't care for it... not even if I had had it before (somehow, somewhere)... I needed a cup. A full cup. Berries. Apples. Ginger. Florals. Appertifs. Genuinely horrible tasting stuff. I.Had.It.All. and I wanted -- no -- I demanded more. (Point of order: I can fully attest to the bad decisions I made (I regret nothing) but I'm a grown-a$$ man. To the parents bringing your kids in here to run around, get hopped up on God knows what and begin a descent into altered brain patterns that will show themselves more clearly in the years to come... shame on you. What are you thinking? There needs to be a test prior to parenthood.) Long story/review short: 'Taste It' will change your life and become the only leg you'll need to stand on. Man, I'm thirsty. It's Pavlovian, y'all. I done been changed! *You know what I'm talking about.
