Michael C. Carlos Museum

Incredible museum that seems to fly under the radar in Atlanta. I mean come on, there are actual mummies in here! It was just amazing at every turn. Ancient art and tools from all over the world and it’s so cheap and interesting architecturally itself.

Lots of amazing unique pieces of history. Best university museum I've been to. Parking is expensive and the gift shop staff (older guy) could have been more friendly.

I forgot the exact ticket price, but for those who are fond of Egyptian culture, a visit to this museum is highly recommended. It's quite fascinating! The Sleeping Mummy exhibit is truly spectacular! 🖤 Its presence is both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring, leaving a lasting impression of ancient history and mystery.

Located on Emory Campus, this museum is chocked full of artifacts, art from classical to modern, and historical pieces from around the world. It is $8 per person for admission. The explanation of item(s) and information is very well done. Guides (Docents) are present and explaining/telling stories about pieces. The Egyptian collection is very impressive. I enjoyed the cuniform tablets. There are draws to be open too at this museum! In the Indo-Asian exhibit, beautiful pieces of manuscripts were presented. Colorful stories and teaching were easy to inspext. There really is something for everyone.

A nice museum at Emory University. It has artefacts and replicas from various Ancient American civilisations, Ancient Egypt, and my favourite—Ancient Greece and Rome. The plaques were detailed and I particularly liked that the artefacts were numbered and corresponded with their respective summary. We got in for free with our university IDs (from a different university. Without a university it’s $10 for adults). I especially suggest stopping by the little shop in the lobby, lots of great books!

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.

This wonderful museum is located right on Emory University’s campus. It had lots of unique, stylish exhibits to intrigue many different interests. One of the highlights was their expansive Egyptian section. Head over to the Michael C. Carlos Museum for a look into some beautiful, historic pieces!
