Atlanta, Georgia's central hub

With the important history that is centered around Atlanta — notably the American Civil Rights Movement — it’s no surprise that the city is full of engaging museums dedicated to cultural growth. 

Atlanta’s strong art scene is visible at institutions such as the High Museum of Art, in notable public art pieces, and in the bold and funky street art that wallpapers the city.  

Take-in the musical vibe with Grammy award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, theatre classics, and musicals.
