While a grad student at Emory, I would occasionally eat in their cafe, and would often wander through their mummy collection. At the time Tutenkamen was in residence - if I don't have this exhibit mixed up with when I saw King Tut in NYC years ago. Seen one king, seen 'em all!

I went to the Carlos Museum several years ago and have been meaning to make time to go back ever since. The museum, though small, has an extensive collection and is reasonably priced for a great afternoon of exploring history and ancient artifacts.

Although small, it takes about 2 hours to go thru this museum. Some of the descriptions are hard to read due to lighting and placement of small print. Otherwise, a quality experience!

Took a friend who has never been here, we had so much fun learning new things about different cultures of centuries ago. Beautifully presented, easy to walk around and parking not a problem. I had no problem finding the museum. I can't wait to go again. Highly recommened. Had a delicious lunch too.

we enjoyed the docent who gave us the tour. she was excellent and the young people we were with enjoyed the tour

large collection of art from the Americas, particularly from South American and the Andes. The ancient Costa Rican ceramics are beautifully displayed, and the showcases are well lighted.

Considering this is a donation only, you get a lot of bang for the bucks. Egypian coffins are the main attraction but jewelry and artifacts from all over the world are here. Older kids will find it more interesting. It is in the Emory Univ. complex and a few miles from Fernbank, a must see on your tour. Decatur and... More

This museum has an impressive collection of artifacts. It's collections are very well organized and documented to relay the most information. That said, even if you aren't "academic", this museum is just really enjoyable to walk through. The Egyptian, Greek and Roman and the Americas exhibits impressed me the most. (Their African exhibit was being reorganized when we were there.)... More

TOTALLY recommend!!!! If you love ancient history, this is a MUST NOT MISS. They have mummies, all sorts of tools, jewelry, clothing...the things they have...just amazed us, and I felt like I got a better idea of how advanced these old Greek, Roman, and Egyptian cultures were. They also have a lot of Mayan artifacts. Beautiful stuff, where parking is... More
