Art Attack!
Atlanta's art scene is popping (like a can of, well, you know). The High Museum of Art is the crown jewel, boasting an impressive collection of everything from American masterpieces to mind-bending modern art. Feeling a little more international? The Michael C. Carlos Museum will whisk you away with its ancient Egyptian artifacts and treasures from around the globe.
But wait, there's more! Atlanta also boasts the SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film, a must-see for fashionistas (or anyone who appreciates a good sequined gown).

History Hunters
Atlanta's history is as rich and dramatic as a plate of grits. Want to learn about the Civil Rights Movement? The National Center for Civil and Human Rights will educate and inspire you. History buffs will also dig the Atlanta History Center, a sprawling complex with historic homes and exhibits that bring Atlanta's past to life.
Feeling presidential? The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum offers a glimpse into the life and times of our peanut-farming president.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Niche and Seek
Atlanta offers a museum smorgasbord for the truly specific interests. Dive into the world of college football at the College Football Hall of Fame. Plane enthusiasts will love the Delta Flight Museum, where you can learn about the history of aviation (and maybe snag some free peanuts). Got a hankering for hip-hop history? The Trap Music Museum is the place to be.
Feeling peckish? Believe it or not, there's a Waffle House Museum dedicated to this Southern staple.
