There is plenty of parking in front of the school. What a great display and gorgeous building. Much of the entrance has large glass windows allowing a lot of light into the building. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a short 10-minute Smithsonian film with many of the local artisans featured that describes the local methods that were used to make Appalachian pottery. The building houses lots of displays showing pottery workshops, a kiln model, and pottery uses in past areas. There is a large set of displays of pottery from various artists and timeframes. It is my understanding that many of the pieces in the "workshop" displays are real artwork and not re-creations with makes it all the more fascinating to look at. As a bonus, the building is adjacent to (and connected to) another set of gift shops and museums. You can also visit other buildings on the site. The entire visit was wonderful and well worth visiting. You could spend a fair amount of time as there is a lot of information on display here that tells the true story of pottery that was created and grew out of this area.

As adults we have this tendency to say "if I knew then what I knew now, I'd have paid more attention in school!" Well here's your chance. This tiny aquarium will impart more knowledge in a short visit than you probably take in most months if you take advantage of it. The interns and owner (a former teacher) are committed to answering questions. The things they are studying and sharing are amazing. If you go in and you want to learn and ask questions this will be an experience you won't forget. Think of the best science teacher you ever had, having an opportunity to show the world what she loves to talk about... and that is what you have here. Do yourself a favor, go, enjoy and learn!!

My friend and I went on a free Sunday and even ran into some other friends while we were there. We got to watch a youth dance performance featuring all different styles--from kids dancing in suits to a Mary Poppins-themed routine it was so incredibly cute! The art itself really spoke to me. I got to see cultural pieces from my home country that I rarely ever see elsewhere, and it honestly brought tears to my eyes. They were also highlighting a Black woman's art that day; hearing her story and seeing the way she painted up until her passing, alongside works from other Black artists, was profoundly beautiful. This was my second time visiting the High, and I absolutely hope to go more often whenever I have the time!

I especially enjoyed the mix of contemporary and classic works, and the building itself is beautiful with plenty of natural light. We visited on a weekend afternoon and found it busy but still comfortable to navigate. There were plenty of benches throughout for taking a break and really appreciating the artwork. I'd recommend this for a date, solo afternoon, or when you have visitors in town. My biggest tip would be to check the special exhibitions before your visit since they can be a major highlight. Definitely one of Atlanta's gems.

This is such a huge plus to the community with tons of displays and informational exhibits for kids. It's free to enter and our toddler really enjoyed the walking trails, the turtles and the water & train displays! Do check and make sure the water exhibit is open that day if it's in the summer bc of day camps if you're really wanting to see that. It is the coolest exhibit imo but they had a huge train table, tent for pretend play and tons of other educational toys for kids in the other rooms too They also took us down to see the reptile exhibit with turtles, snakes and lizards and it's a scenic route with waterfalls and cool architecture. Couldn't love this place more; it's a must visit!

I was so eager to experience this facility on the University of Georgia campus with my…read moregrandchildren. Since the Museum has limited hours during the week only, Monday to Friday, we headed to Athens early Monday morning during the first day of their Thanksgiving week holiday. UGA is also on Holiday break and the upside of our visit, was the very limited amount of people on campus. As most people know and now I know, the UGA campus is enormous. I had never been there before and soon discovered that not even my GPS helped find this Museum. Fortunately, the campus staff and students were very helpful and we did finally find the Museum. It is an extremely small Museum, compared to the Natural History Museum in DC, it is miniscule, i.e. 30 X 40 ft. and the primary reason for my rating. It does appear that UGA is trying their best to develop this Museum, but, it does have a long, long way to go. My grandchildren did learn a few scientific terms and were interested in a few of the exhibits, which we were able to explore undaunted and uninterrupted since we were the ONLY visitors at that time. There is always a silver lining and for this adventure, it was the positive help received by UGA students and staff, and being on campus without all of the usual activity.

We watched a 15-minute video that plays on the half hour, about Dahlonega's gold history. After the video, an enthusiastic tour guide named JL showed us some of the rooms (office for the judge and deliberation room for the jury), as well as brick with gold specs in it. Then we wandered the rest of the upstairs which had discovery drawers with gems, tools, and other items in them. There were a few more displays and rooms downstairs including one with minted coins from Dahlonega, as well as a gift shop. While we spent an hour here, you could watch the film and get through the museum probably in 30-45 minutes of going at your own pace. Overall, I found it very interesting and would highly recommend!
