What kind of museum would one find in Cartersville, Georgia? An intriguing one that consumes your time while enhancing your awareness of whats around you. I love to go to this place for an hour or four hours. You can spend time experiencing so many different types of media that you dont always feel like you are in the same place. One gallery to the next flows like it should, but takes you to a different time and place. And the temporary exhibits are breathtaking. You dont want to miss this one. Booth Western Art Museum...its like a day on vacation.

The museum is fascinating. There is so much to see from artwork, to sculptures, to artifacts, to photographs and more. I did the museum in 2 trips so that I could take it all in. It is wonderful that we have this kind of Museum in the east. I never imagined the breadth and depth of Indian art to be seen in this area. It is appropriate for all ages. My granddaughters 3rd grade class had come to this Museum on a field trip and she enjoyed it as much as I.

Who knew there was a first class museum in north central Georgia with so much excellent art depicting Native Americans, pioneers and cowboys. From the time one enters the building, they are inundated with such a wide variety of visual examples of western art. For me, the hall of Civil War art was particularly spectacular as was the Hall of Presidents. There is something for everyone.

One of the docents is a complete jerk! I was sitting Indian style on a bench and 2 other docents had passed by and not said anything, but this old cowboy looking man told me to get my feet off the bench and I was ruining an antique bench! There wasnt a sign saying I couldnt do this! None of the other docents said anything!! I hope this jerk gets fired for being so rude!

Booth Western Art Museum in downtown Cartersville, Georgia. This 120,000 square foot Museum opened in August 2003, and houses the largest permanent exhibition space for Western art in the country. Galleries feature contemporary Western American art, historic Western art, Civil War art, Presidential portraits and letters, Western movie posters, and Western illustration

Went to the Ansel Adams exhibit and photography series of panelist discussions featuring those who worked with/were related to Adams, Dorthea Lange, and Imogen Cunningham. It was very informative and interesting. I didnt get to see much of the museum afterwards, but I plan to go back. On a side note, it would be nice if their cafe had some vegan options :).

Breathtaking artwork beautifully displayed! I felt as though I was in Washington, D.C. Viewing the Smithsonian Indian Exhibit! What a stimulating museum with surprises around every corner! The caliber of art is priceless! Thank you for having a museum collection so close in proximity!

The Booth is a real surprise in Cartersville. It is a genuine museum nestled in this small town just north of Atlanta right off of I75. You can spend a very pleasant morning there viewing the art and they even have an excellent section just for the kids. See it!

What a pleasant surprise to see such a wonderful museum of western art in Cartersville! The Ansel Adams exhibition was an excellent bonus to the statuary, poster art, presidential study, as well as myriad Civil War pieces. Thanks from an appreciative Kansan!!

Amazing museum. Totally unexpected in regard of location and collection of art and quality of the museum. It was fun to see my 7 yo son to be absolutely immersed in the art. It did not last long which is expected from the young boy, but it was fun.

Spectacular! A wide variety of art and sculpture from A-list artists that is well-presented in a wonderful setting. Nothing to complain about, other than they were closing after we had spent 2 hours on one level. I will be going back for sure!

A gem of a wonderful museum. Loved the hall of the Presidents, the Ansel Adams exhibit, all of wonderful art and sculptures. The building and setting are gorgeous. I was blown away by this great museum, better than the High.

Small but world class museum featuring a broad collection of paintings and sculptures focused on Native Americans, Cowboys, and Confederates. The kids section is fantastic. First Thursday of the month is free 4-8p.

Excellent, clean, well-maintained and curated museum of Western art. Great basement hands-on space for kids. Would be improved by a cowGIRL exhibit. Something on the lives & contributions of women in the west.

Came here with school trip good for 2nd grade walked around for an hour looking at some cool artifacts kids did some coloring then played a dumb game and other than that they got pretty bored

Very interesting exhibits from many periods. Features local artists & those from across the country. The Presidents Hall was informative. My favorite part was the hall of bronze sculptures.

It was such a wonderful visit to the Booth museum! It sits alongside a quiet road and awaits all guests who would cherish its awesome paintings, sculptures, photographs and more.

I love the Western art and the atmosphere of the Cowboys and also the presidents of the United States of America. Also our family had the chance to enjoy the day of cowboy.

This is a beautiful museum! Beautiful art & a much bigger display than we expected. Allow about 3 hours and enjoy. If you have children, theyll love Sagebush Ranch!

Richard Schick

A stunningly beautiful facility and much more than just a Western Art Museum. Entire rooms devoted to American presidents, movie memorabilia and the civil war.

Sylvia Caldwell Rankin

Who could imagine such a delightful collection of western art in Georgia! Permanent exhibits are a WOW and the seasonal fare is always quite "tasty", as well.

John Webb

Surprising museum with a nod towards western art...the Ansel Adams exhibit was "meh" but the Jacques Lowe Camelot photography exhibit was excellent

Dwight Roeland

One of the most enjoyable afternoons we have had. This museum is a gem and it should not have taken us so long to get there. We give it 10 stars!
