Millennium Gate Museum highlights
While there's plenty to see in the Millennium Gate Museum, a few of their offerings stand out. The 21st Century Interactive Gallery is impressive and showcases how philanthropy efforts have changed the city over time. This was established in partnership with the Interactive Media Technology Centre at Georgia Tech.
You may also want to stop by the period rooms in the museum. One is an 18th-century Colonial study, another is a 19th-century corporate office, and the last is a 20th-century drawing room. These rooms are designed to be entirely period appropriate.
