    "The place is amazing with lots to see and learn. Be sure to have plenty of time to walk through the Swan House, a 19th century working farm, courtyard, exhibits and museums. Visiting the Civil War Museum alone, reviewing that history, unknowingly an hour or two passed. Great artifacts and paperwork, I really want to go back to spend more time in the Civil War Museum, put on headphones to listen to the explanation. The exhibition of the 100-year Olympic Games is also very interesting. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and you will walk a lot. This is a history lesson for teenagers, but it is not recommended to bring children. It took four hours, but still not all finished, I will definitely come back."

    "For non-professionals, understanding paintings requires understanding the social and creative background at the time, the style of the painter, etc. There are some exhibitions regularly. When I went there was an exhibition in Europe, there was a real Van Gogh. Suitable for people to taste slowly. Seeing professionals with folding benches, sitting in front of a painting, a discussion is an hour."

    Highlights: The museum's location on a street corner is important for Atlanta's future development, pedestrian orientation in the neighborhood, and public transportation. The whole building consists of four parts, one of which is specially carved to distinguish it from the other three - from the basic image analysis, it is still relatively similar to the Frankfurt Museum, although its meaning has been reinterpreted; here, the missing That part becomes a monumental atrium and resting space for the entire museum. The densely vegetated Peachtree Street is very attractive. The entrance to the main traffic road is naturally chosen here. The open space facing the street in front of the building forms a green space. The entrance is formed by a ramp that projects diagonally. The ramp leads people past a curtain wall and through a colonnade to the main floor of the building. The structure of the entire building consists of circular steel columns, frames and concrete slabs. The granite plinth acts as the transverse base material for all ramps, and when viewed from the front, becomes the support and support for the delicate white panels covering the gallery surface. Light, whether entering directly or through skylights, strip glazing, strip louvers and apertures in panels, creates a continuous effect: regardless of its function, light simply becomes this. The museum inspires people to think about the symbols of cultural values. The important goal of this museum is to inspire people to discover these values and to make people think more deeply about the exhibits through the experience of space.
