Museums & Galleries in and near Atlanta, GA

Most conversations about Atlanta museums will start with the High Museum of Art, and that’s as good a place as any to embark from. Once just a stately home on Peachtree Street, the High has grown to become the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. But even if you’re not an art lover, you’ll find no shortage of things to do in Atlanta, a city that prides itself on having a museum for pretty much everyone. Visiting with kids? Head to the Children’s Museum adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park in Downtown Atlanta, where you’ll find interactive stations geared toward children up to 8 years old. Have a sweet tooth? Check out the World of Coca-Cola, which happens to be located right next to another must-see attraction: the Georgia Aquarium.
