Venue Profile - The Michael C. Carlos Museum, Atlanta, Georgia
This is a charming regional museum with a wonderful depth of focus on the periods in which it has chosen to specialize. Anyone visiting Atlanta will find a visit well worthwhile, especially should your interests include the Hellenistic or ancient Egyptian periods. Though perhaps overshadowed somewhat by the larger (and wealthier) High Museum across town, the MCC is a fine institution in its own right.
