I live in athens and decided to take my parents to the art decision. The art wasnt bad, nothing to exciting, a large portion of the art was paper. The people rude the experience wasnt very great. The employees follow you like a hawk, in one portion they lady kept sighing like we were bothering her. There is cameras on every corner so I couldnt understand why they had people following you around from room to room. Majority of the signs were very small print and I was yelled at for being to close to a painting, so I could read a sign about it, that was made in 2011.

Okay museum for a university. The collection is fairly small and has a narrow scope mostly aimed at Georgia subjects. The museum can be done in about an hour. I did not care for the fact that ones bags must be checked in a locker. I also really did not care for the fact that I felt like I was being followed by the numerous security guards at the museum. For a smaller museum it seems to have an abnormally large amount of security and they really do follow you like a hawk. As an avid museum and art lover it made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

First, this Art Museum is free of charge to enter and view the art. It has a massive amount of fine art of various shapes and sizes. There is a gift shop and a cafe located here as well. There are multiple floors that you can traverse and explore. Some areas do not allow photography of the art while other areas do. I recommend coming here. It truly is a fantastic museum.

Very cool museum. We rented it for a party and our guests absolutely loved it. Why just rent a room to have a party when you can rent a museum? We love to see the new exhibits here too. Real undiscovered gem in Athens GA.

Lovely small museum with a pretty good variety of art encompassing different media. Free, by donation makes it a great value. Glad we made the stop

Small public museum. Free parking and admission. They ask for donations only. We visited during the summer and it was very slow and quiet.

My daughter and I enjoyed the exhibits and the family activities that were going on the day of our visit.
