We return to the Carlos Museum each time we visit Emory. The collection is wonderful. Both the Egyptian collection and the pre- Columbian artifacts are wonderful. More

This museum is not overwhelming or so vast as to send whiny shivers from the young. Fun, interactive, small with an amazing gift shop and cafe. What else could you ask for? More

The Carlos museum is a one-of-a-kind place for not only Emory University but Atlanta as well. In a town full of great museums, this one stands out for its exhibits on ancient Egypt. But, also, the focus on other cultures and time periods is wonderful. After your visit, you can also stroll through the beautiful Emory campus and then grab... More

We recently visited this museum for the first time...and, I have to say: one of my FAVORITE museum expereinces ever! The Michael C Carlos Museum is moderately sized, but just PACKED with an amazing collection of art, jewelry, tools, weapons and other everyday items from ancient cultures around the world. Loved the mummy collection...amazing... We took a group of nine-year... More

The Carlos Museum is a gem of a museum on the Emory University campus. They have a great Egyptian and antiquities collection, small but thorough and their egyptian collection is one of the best I've seen.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum's current exhibit -Mandala: Sacred Circle in Tibetan Buddhism - is outstanding - and is only in town til April 15, 2012. Mandalas - paintings, sculptures, and an animated 3 dimensional view of the mandala as a castle (done by Cornell University computer scientists) are a complete WOW. (In a sacred and reverent way, of course.)... More

If you love ancient Central American and Egyptian history and artifacts, this small, exceptional museum is worth the time. We've been to Egypt and the Egyptian museum in Cairo, and to the British Museum in London. This collection and the way it is exhibited, is so very well done. And, just seeing the Emory University campus is worth the short... More
