Millennium Gate Museum - History Art Museum Atlanta, Georgia | Classical Architecture

This guide to the Millennium Gate Museum in Atlanta centers on a 2016 exhibition called The Games, Ancient Olympia to Atlanta to Rio, which paired Greek relics over two thousand years old with torches from Atlanta's own 1996 Olympics. It traces how curators borrowed pieces from Hearst Castle and Emory's Michael Carlos Museum, working days before the doors opened to link an ancient footrace with a modern city. Stand beneath the eighty-two-foot arch itself, modeled on Rome's Arch of Titus, to see the carved figures the show was built around.
