Wow! I have seen many Egyptian artifacts at several museums, and I have to say that this one is quite exquisite. The staging, lighting, music, and ambiance are one of a kind. It takes @ two hours to view the whole exhibition.

There are no sarcophagi…More »

I found the Carter Center nice place to go if you enjoy history. Having seen it once, I don't feel the need to go back.  It encaptures the short time he was in office. They have displays representing the campaign process as well as some beautiful…More »

I'll admit that modern art isn't my favorite form of art. I always try to keep an open mind. This gallery is a large, fun place to enjoy the day and view unusual forms of art. However, my lower rating reflects the security guards that stand post at…More »

This review is really about the planetarium, which is incredible.  Fernbank's planetarium is the largest in the country, 70 feet!  They have weekly shows which are super cheap, $4 for adults.  Thursday and Friday nights the observatory is open too.…More »

What a great collection! We visited the ROM to see their Darwin exhibit, which was incredible! Not only was the collection huge, it was displayed in a way that did not overload you. My other favorite was their Egyptian collection. They had a whole…More »

The Met truly lives up to its reputation.  I could spend a week there and feel like I didn't see everything that I wanted to.  I especially love the Tomb, the armor collection, and American furniture.  I can't wait to go back!!
