About

This museum is the perfect place to spend an afternoon marveling at Greek and Roman statues.

This unassuming museum tucked away on the Emory University campus contains an impressive collection of art. Inside is an extensive collection of ancient Latin American art, as well as artifacts found locally in Georgia. Other standouts in the collection include a soldier’s armor from ancient Greece and a section from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
