Ancient Art in a Postmodern Jewel 8/1/2002

The Carlos Museum is a beautiful Michael Graves building on the main quadrangle of Emory University. The setting is appropriate to the exquisite treasures the museum houses. While most visitors are awed by the fabulous ancient Egyptian collection, there are also wonderful galleries of classical, African, and Asian art. Atlanta's best-kept secret! Pros: great Bookstore, Not Crowded, Friendly staff Cons: Hard to find, hard to park weekdays more

Lovely! 7/19/2002

What an enchanting place! The building itself is a gem-- wander through the intimate galleries and remember to enjoy the architecture. The collections are among the best I've seen. This museum is a wonderful tribute to ancient culture in a city often criticized for failing to preserve historic assets. Step into the Carlos and be transported thousands of years and millions of miles! more

Ah, Mummy 6/27/2002

Egyptian and Classical archeology in the Deep South--what a pleasure! In addition to exhibits that explain clearly each item, the lectures are excellent: top scholars speak and answer questions. Worth joining and staying a member. LGZ Pros: clear wall texts, chronological arrange, lectures more
